Forget about it.  Neither my '84 or '85 had/have any padding under the
carpet.  Since there is no engine noise to absorb, why bother installing
something that just absorbs water.   Clean it up, treat with POR-5, and
spray bed liner if you want some sound damping.

My $0.02.

Subject: Cork/Rubber flooring under front carpet

A combination of events - hole in the floor by brake pedal,accumulation of
water over time, rusting through, rotting the cork, slow brake fluid leak,
etc, had destroyed the cork pad on the drivers side. It needs to be
replaced.

Any suggestions as to how to approach this: whole new pad (if one can be
found) , substitute other materials. How about cutting up some of the hard
foam rubber flooring that you can get at HF, gluing it together into a new
form fitting pad?

Just fishing for solutions here.

Why say you, fellow Volks??

Thanks,

John
