urq leaks...

["Scott Bristol" <scottbristol@hotmail.com>]

The mushy substance found under the carpet may be from a bad drain from 
the A/C condensor. This would be more than likely if it is found only on 
the passenger side. Fix: pull back carpet under glovebox and inspect 
drain plug, insure the pan is overlapping the rubber grommet, also check 
the drain tube itself for blockage.

As far as replacement sound matt...you could just use regular carpet 
padding. BUT! the best material I have found is a sound deadening matt 
made by Stinger. It is approximately 1/2 inch thick with a thick 
rubberish foam on one side slowly making a transition into a heavy 
rubber on the other. Cut this stuff to fit with the foam side down and 
you will be amazed at how well it absorbs noise!. Almost all vibration 
transfer is eliminated and most road noise. Although, I have dynamatted 
everything else and the URQ will inherently have excess wind noise due 
to the window design.

This matt can be found at most stereo shops (probably needs to be 
ordered). Highly recommended although expensive. I can tell you cost is 
approx. $75 but retail will probably be almost double that. It comes in 
a rather large sheet enough to do the coupe's entire floor.

If enough people are interested I may be able to arrange a group 
purchase on this and dynamatt or maybe just a q-list discount on 
stereo/video and car audio components. Interested? 

Scott
