SOOO....


i just discoverd that my carpet is wet... yes, i know sh*ty....

so after about 4 hours of BS...i have removed the carpet...and it has some damage... needless to say, although it is minor..i would like to replace it.

so... WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS...

go with nothing? but then does someone actually make some sort of liner (aluminum) inserts to kind of finish the car?

DOES THE GT3 carpet weigh less? is so, will it fit?


has anyone done anything similar...if so, let me know, i would love to see what has been done out there...

thanks to all in advance

yea, iv seen that, but that is mean to go over the carpet...unless i am missing something

thanks

 

sorry, that's the only aluminum insert I've seen

 

hm..i feel a custom setup coming...

i know that the rear carpeting fromthe GT3 IS lighter.... but thats all i know...

 

How did your carpet get wet? Just from snow/rain on your shoes? Sunroof open? If not, I'd look into finding what caused the damage first.

 

ya...i have s STRONG feeling that the audio installers i used to install my system left some holes between the passanger compartment and battery compartment...

how do i know... because i had FLOODING in the trunk before i sealed another hole that was left there by these pros!!

i will be checking the exact location... BUT its only on the passenger side? i will have to check for all the body plugs too just to be sure, but i really doubt thats it.

 

Wow, what a nightmare. Have you checked around all of your window seals?
I know it sounds counter productive but perhaps you could get a garden hose and try to recreate the leak. That way you can find out exactly where it's coming from and solve the problem.

Unless you've got rotting, you should be able to dry out/have the carpet cleaned back to normal.

 

yea, i was planning on that.... but its getting cold here in Vancouver (Canada) and i really dont want to get the interior moist again.

the carpet wasnt wet long enough to stink thankfully, and it is now completely dry. i will have to find exactly where it is coming before i do anything else.

 

Have you ruled out snow on your boots?

 

its not that cold up here!! no this is from either the car wash or rain...


and its under the carpet....not on the carpet

 

Like I was saying earlier, I know it might hurt, but take a hose to that sucker.

 

yup... i will start with a flashlight first, see where i can see daylight...then the hose!

wil try tomorrow...see where it gets me, i miss my car...and really want to get it back on the road

 

body drains along the fire wall or perhaps the evap. drain hose is disconnected, punctured or draining in the car- even though its november in canada and you might not be using the a/c

 

i should check the a/c.... its always on...good call!!
