Is the tarish/rubber padding behind the backpad and glued to the firewall worth keeping? I'm assuming it's mainly for sound insulation.
Would I be better off replacing it with Dynamat type insulation? I've had to scrape the tar off the floors under the seats - and will be replacing that with Dynamat type insulation ... why not do more? Doors too? Actually I'll be using RAAMmat BXT - if there are any opinions out there... |

IMHO. Use the original mat and seal the edges with 3m 5200, top and sides, but not the bottom. It is a good sound deadening product, and original.

Steve I have 2 original mats and was thinking about using them. I like the idea of not gluing the lower edge. Should moisture collect behind the mat, it has a way out. Sound like good advice. |
