Okay I was pulling my interior to install my new dash & backpad. Down by my seat hinge I see some rust around the hinge mount. It was between the sound deadening factory stuff & the mount. It started around the mount & worked it's way across. I had one tiny hole through & some spots if it hadn't been seen would have gone through. Another gift from my car sitting outside at the wrench who screwed me a while back. He just keeps giving & giving (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .
So I scraped all the sound deadening off on the rear drivers side pan. I treated it with some rust stuff I have. Tonight I scraped off most the front sound deadening. It was great with the exception of a little more around the pedal. I can tell it is just surface rust but it is coming out. I plan to use bedliner to redo the floor. Then I am going to paint it L80E to match my car. Here are a few pics to check out of the area mostly scraped up. I haven't started on the passenger side but if it has the same issue I will get some before pics. What have you used to replace the sound deadening (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached image(s) |

EDIT I am using 1/4 inch Solid Rubber sheeting It is one piece and is cut to the shape of the floor, from long to center hump, and from cross bar to forward wall. Interesting idea. Where did you get the material? Any rubber distributor...in my area that would be Reller Rubber in your area, try www.intlbeltandrubber.com or Seattle Rubber Sheet |
