Drying out sound proofing
Range Rover Blues:
Take it out and leave it at home. It won't dry out where it is, it'll just rot the floor. Lift the back edge and prop a brick under there for now, eventualy you'll decide to remove it.
Lewis Bernard:
yeah, i have removed it. small amounts of rust in drives side, non in passenger side. my estimation is it has been there for a while. going to purchase some new door seals and seal up a couple of small unused holes in the floor. hopefully this will help in the smaller of water crossings, if i ever come across them!
cheers for your help guys.
muddyjames:
It sounds like a fun water crossing you went through!!
The bottom of my door seals aren't in a very good way by a long way. They are all cracked and crazed but I have never had water come inside the disco (except through the rusted boot floor before I had it replaced)
I have been through water that flowed over the bonnet and I couldnt go fast through the ford as it had huge holes either side. I must be very lucky then!! Dont forget the cd interchanger is under your drivers seat so dont let that get wet!!
Lewis Bernard:
already removed it! which was handy. i wonder where all this water came from. it filled the footwells by half an inch. i must be unlucky! my doors are all hung correctly, i can only think it is the door seal. the water seemed to bubble up from under the door.

Yep! . . . . rip it out and do without it . . . . keep out of the water . . . . . plug up all the holes.
A few tubes of silicon can work wonders, all the electical grommets in the disco footwells are suspects, give 'em a good dose of 'gobbo' and check your door seals as well.
if it's getin wet because of rust worm get the welder out.
Who really needs sound deadening anyway . . . . :twisted:
Get 'em dried though or they WILL start rot and then it's an endless chore trying to cure it :(
Check you boot floor as well, if it's got in the footwells then it's likley it's got under the rear carpets as well and the boot floor is a pig to replace :wink:
