The former owner dragged his feet so long getting the sunroof issue taken care of the floor rotted out under the battery. Is there a patch panel available? I did a search for Aurora on car-part.com and it didn't find ANY Auroras in Michigan to get one out of.

Morning members..... had this to happen to me about 8yrs ago. I was able to make a water tight repair be using some galvanized pans used for separating the joists of a home from the bricks for termites.
It cuts very easy w/tin snips & shapes just as easy. I used a bead of RTV sealant w/ self-tap 1/2" "button" head screws.

I did that before asking here. Aurora body repair parts are scarce. |

I have no idea what zip code you're in, but there are a lot of Auroras in Michigan to hopefully get a floor board patch out of. Search for something other than floor pan and you should see lots of Auroras for what you need.  |

I am usually pretty good about finding parts, I must not have had one of the options set right. I checked for doors, a bumper cover, nothing came up. Oh well. Thanks |

What is your zip? We're here to help each other.
This forum has helped me tremendously.

I just searched again and found a bunch this time so it was probably a glitch or something I did wrong.
I think this floor part can come out of a 2000-2005 LeSabre or one model of Cadillac as well because they have the battery under the seat too. I'm going to stop at a local yard and see if he has anything. He doesn't participate in the car-part system.

Best of luck with that. You could probably easily fix it with fiberglass too.

That crossed my mind but a local yard is going to cut that section of the pan (like a sink) out of a LeSabre for me so I can cut out the old part and weld it in properly. I want this car to last because I have come to really enjoy how it performs, drives, handles, etc. I just wish they didn't have so many electronic issues. |

Glad you found one(and close by). Good luck with the repair. You along with the rest of us will hate the day when we will have to depart with our Aurora.
