While trying to trace down a short, I found an even bigger problem. My seat belt mount is just dangling there. The rust doesn't look to have spread too far, though. Maybe 4-5 inches on either side of where the mount should be, and 1-3 inches up and down from where the mount should be. My car has a lot of minor problems, though, so do you think it would be repaired under the recall, or would they just want to buy the car off me?
