In both of my vehicles, the front seat floor boards have said thick pad glued to top of floor boards, but the rear floor boards are seemingly just one layer of something that i assume is steel, pictured here below...
It's QUITE flexible for being steel, which is what has been confusing. I'm thinking "wow this can be welded?" If i didn't ask anyone i would interpret this as being some sort of fancy plastic.
If i put a strong magnet to it, the kind that are very tiny circles but will not pull off of your refrigerator door without serious prying, it just barely stays on this piece of floorboard and if i shake it while sideways it will fall right off.
So i'm just looking to again confirm the best approach for joining new floorboard materials with old surrounding floorboard..
