Take a newbie to school here if you would, I've got it set of pads that are in decent condition but I'm not sure if there are better options available...
Thanks! |

It seems the common place for upper firewall rust is the lower outside corners. Even my old rust bucket had a pristine firewall under the sound mat except those corners. If you think about it, that's the area where water absorbed by the felt would migrate and stay wet the longest. It seems waterproofing the back of those pads would be a great first step. I like the Velcro idea because if you orient the strips vertically, you would also be creating an air gap to keep moisture from getting trapped. The alternative would be to glue and seam seal around the edges but then you wouldn't be able to periodically inspect.
Deleting the sound mat is not an option for me. Even if my car was electric, I'd still be looking for ways to make it quieter. |
