s1 Floor

Post by nxy » Fri Mar 07, 2008 11:48 am

Have just taken out the original mats and scrapped all the floor, luckily no major corrosion. I was just wondering do you paint anything on to the floor before putting the new removable mats down.

cheers

Or just leave it, ali without crappy rubber mats is just fine, it was just the unfortunate choice of rubber that caused it.

So the rubber causes the corrosion, a car with carpet is fine even if it is kinda corroded looking...?

IIRC the rubber mats were trapping the salt & water brought in off ur feet, carpet lets it breath and dry out. So yup, you'll be fine.
