After seeing the underside of my car and areas that rusted due to bad drainage/crevices that trap water, it has me wondering what I should do to avoid problems with the lower torque box reinforcements I'm installing.
As you can see, there will not be enough room to get in and weld all the way around the reinforcement to seal it up: http://umiperformance.com/catalog/im...1000ad_LRG.jpg
So, I wondered if I should try to somehow slather some silicone around the edge of the bracket where the welder can't get to?
I imagine water getting kicked up and staying between the reinforcement and the torque box.
Or is it best to just leave it and hope it mostly drains?
Maybe I'm over thinking it, but I don't ever want to put in the amount of work fixing rust spots on this car as I have lately. Trying to mitigate by sealing as best I can the right way.
Appreciate any advice!
