Been searching old threads, and see a variety of options, but no real consensus on keeping the carpet but discarding that annoyingly absorbent material that sits under it.
In working on removing the carpet in my '92 to install wiring for power mirrors, I discovered my underlayment pad is once again damp (bloody thing caused half the passenger side floor to rot out, which I had fixed a year ago). I'm seriously considering throwing it away and just keeping the carpet itself, but am concerned about melting/igniting the rubber backing.
The old threads I found seem to suggest a few of you run like this (carpet, but no pad), and I'm interested in how it's worked out long-term. Any problems/issues with laying the rubber-backed carpet directly on the floorpan?
Thanks,
Rob
