My sister has an element, better forward thsi to her because the dealer used "hosing it out: as a selling point!
Want to hose out a vehicle? Buy a Jeep Wrangler - they even put drain plugs in the floor.
Even though it makes sense from a physics standpoint, putting the SRS module on the floor is kinda dumb. GM's had problems with fluid intrusion on their J-car platform that results in some sketchy airbag deployment issues. Keep the electronics up off the floor!
