I have stripped out damn near all of the black soundproofing from my floor panels.
I was able to pry out the front left drain plug, which was leaking anyway, but the other three are still covered with that gray goop and they just ain't coming out without some serious BFH'ing and scraping all day long. My question is - if there isn't any leaking apparent / no rust channels or anything, do I need to bother getting them out? For the one that is out, I figure I'll just weld in a piece of sheet metal to fill the hole and seal it.

TIA,

Mike (in Portland)

I think the consensus is that they were access points for the spot-welder. Do what you want with them.
