I guess I got lucky - I was replacing the floors anyway, so I just peeled that
area of floor out and went at it with the shop vac. I found many rust flakes
inside. The area at the "top" of the triangle cought a lot of this debris in my
car, but it also could be that in doing floors on a shell, flipping the shell
upside down has an effect there too....
FWIW,
