Rust under carpet

Hi. 
I've got a moldy smell in my 2007 Auris 1.4. I've done a lot to try and remove the smell. Clean the vents, the AC system, cabin filter, ozon generator etc.

Today I checked under the driverside carpet (Left side). And I found rust! 

The floor was dry though..

I guess all those winters with wet feet left a mark.

I might have the same issue, thought the smell comes from boot heaving leak issue,  but it was dry, have to get this checked out then.

Hey that is pretty bad, clean it and treat it with rust sealer than paint it properly to stop it going worse. If this is under the glove box you better check ac evap drain tube as if it’s blocked that might be the problem at first place. It’s common issue  on any cars with air con when not cleaned at regular basis especially if you keep your car parked under trees or driving on dirty roads.

I would say you have a leak into the car. Can be difficult to trace. Ever had a replacement windscreen?
