Yikes!  good lord ben!!     that cork insulation padding never dries out and
just holds water under it on the metal floor..  You must be getting jealous
your vans arent as rusty as ours on the east coast, so u are making them rust
yourself?  hehe  :<)

one thing i like about the vanagon carpets (on the horizontal areas) is that
they are NOT glued down, and yanking them out to clean them/wash them is a
piece of cake..   i wouldnt ever wash them IN the van tho..  unless i wanted to
start a mold spore colony :<)
