I know there have been a few posts with reference to leaks but this one was kinda my fault..anyway..my dilemma is that now i have removed the carpet,do i uplift the insulation and rubber (think this is from factory stuff) just to check there there is no rust before waxoyling?

Thanks darl...
Yeah Im thinking that its quite a hard rubber matting and to be honest with you, as the underneath is so clean, I am tempted to wax over once I have dried it out..
I'm sure there would be problems coming from underneath first so once I get that checked out,I would know for sure :undecided:

yes... mine has the same... but only in the rear footwells... in the front it was totally rotten and smelly - i replaced with dynamat

i left my rear hard rubber matting alone as it looked good enough... looking from the underside is a good idea

Those are just driver rear...the front is slightly patching where it has worn away...
as I have a new carpet..going to see what the fit of that is like before plumping it up with anything..the original carpat was too "shagpile" lol

Yeah...it seemed clean enough the last time I looked and considering I am wanting the whole underside waxoyled, I might as well have a looksee when its up in the air :smiley:
