Subject:Carpet and Flooring Repair - 88 GL

After my disaster with the rear heater soaking the floor and carpet with
coolant, I'm faced with fixing the floor. I'm going to toss the old
carpet in favor of a new one. But the cork flooring underneath is a
whole 'nother issue!

The cork/particle subflooring is soaked with antifreeze coolant. Is it
possible to clean and dry this cork - or is it a goner?

When inspecting the floor, I noted that the floor is corregated steel
and the cork is made to fit the corregations yet still level out the top
surfaces. In other works the cork is thick and thin, thick and thin.

I'm thinking all new flooring, so if any of you Volks out there has
re-done the floor - I would surely like to chat on the issues,

Thanks,

John
