The only rusted out decks I've ever seen were on FI cars where the brain
had not been installed correctly. This lets water in that hole, which spreads
out under the mat and certainly causes extreme rusting. The solution,
however, is simple: Install the brain correctly, so that the spring clips hold
the cover tight against the body and seal the hole.
