I have seen several Foci with rotted out rocker panels, so I want to try to make sure mine are protected. However, I am confused about how to get oil spray into them.
I have three Foci: 2010 SE four door, 2005 ZX5 SES, 2003 SE Wagon
The 2010 has never been treated, so I assume its drains/access points are as it left the factory. That car has a series of punched holes on the bottom face of the rocker. However, they have another panel just above them, which would make it tough to spray into.
On all three cars the inner vertical edge of the rockers have a series of what I called "formed passages" in the attached photos. On the 2010, all of those are open, and a wire goes in several centimeters. On the 2005 and 2003, some of those passages are blocked with what might be sealer. On the 2003, that sealer looks like it was meant to be there.
So, can anyone tell me the best way to get oil into the rockers? Should all those "formed passages" be open? Are there access points that I have not thought of?
Thanks for any help or opinions,
