Had my 95 jacked up yesturday and found a golf ball size hole in the driver's side floor board, it is right on the corner behind the the tire. What do you think caused it ?

Do you think it could of happened from when I had an Xpipe installed or from someone putting a jack in the wrong spot ? How and where did you apply the epoxie from the outside or inside?

I had one in the same location, not as large. Mine was about inch or so in diameter right on the corner that protrudes unprotected. Mine occurred as a result of an impact with road debris. Easy to fix in most cases. Cracked floors may be a different issue all together.

Good idea but how would I snap it on ? You know like the way fuel rail covers do.
