Yesterday while trying to find an air leak under the front end, I suddenly realized I was seeing what looked like a pinhole of daylight through what should be the carpeted floor to the right front of the co-pilot seat !! I looked closer, saw 3-4 little dark spots, and a pin-prick of light through one of them if I got at just the right angle. 
I rolled out from underneath and looked inside ...everything looked normal ...huh? I called DW out for assistance, rolled back underneath, and had her slowly move her hand around on the carpet in that area ...yep, the light would disappear when she passed over the spot. Looking closely, we found a thin spot/seam/hole/aberration in the carpet, and if a finger were put into the spot the light was not visible underneath. When I feel the dark spots underneath with a long reach, they feel like rust pops or perhaps small rivet holes. The floor around the tiny spots appears quite solid and normal ...no rust, etc. I plan to clean the area well, then apply a rust-healer followed by several coats of spray undercoat.
