Rust behind and under back seat

What causes the rust behind the back seat on the GP? I took out my back seat on the 03 to see if I could fabricate a child restraint plate that is offered on the 2000 and newer cars for my 00 GP. When I did mine was covered in rust. Is this a known issue and what can I do to stop it.

Dude, you have a water leak somewhere. My 99 GTP w/ 155k + being a former Michigan car doesn't look anything like that.
 
Mines an 03 with 51,000 from Kentucky. Doesn't snow here much but it rains all the damn time now and the humidity level is always high. Since I moved back from Colorado I miss the snow.

Note: This car's never seen snow.
 


sounds like a good idea! they make a paint that completely inhibits rust.

more than likely from all the moisture in the air.
 
I wouldn't even bother painting it. Pull up the plastic or whatever covers the floor to make sure that there is no rust there (and confirm there is no leaks), and once you have your restraint made, put it in place and spray everything in some kind of rust inhibitor like Rust Check...it will be covered by the seats, condensation is most likely what caused this, so painting it would be a waste of time IMO. :)
