Tried a search thinking this had already been discussed but no luck.
Background:
What was supposed to be a freshen up paint job has turned to a more major project. My body and paint guy wanted the rear interior removed in order to cover paint right inside the door jamb. I peeled up the factory carpet underlay sound deadner and found a weak spot in a weird area. A mouse (or something bigger) built a nest under the driver's side rear seat and apparently either lived there a long time or drank heavily leaving behind a lot liquid corrosion because compared to the rest of the floor it is weak. Its only a small area and the rest of the floor just has surface rust but its time to sandblast, repair and repaint the floors.
Question: The factory underlay broke apart and a lot can't be reused. It seemed to hold moisture against the floor creating surface rust anyway. What have you guys used to replace the sound deadner insulation and are there any options that will avoid moisture probs but look sort of original?
I searched Don's website and it looks like there is an OEM style kit but out of stock for a 71-73 convertible. Has anyone used this style of replacement and if so how did it work? Does it seem to hold moisture?
