aparently i could just never see where the water was coming in from until i had the interior out now i can see all thats been going on. Luckily i havent seen any rust starting back there from the water.

if you use a flashlight ad spread the pocket a little you should be able to see it

Just got the pass. seat out and everything and lifted the carpet out, besides the bad smell i have a little bit of rust on the floor panel. Ill get that painted and fixed up and throw the old carpet out. The cover for the ecu was rusting a little on the bottom edge so i removed it to paint. ECU looked fine water has never gotten deep enough to harm it. So now whats the best way to remove the carpet and does anyone have a good condition one for sale, if nto its none for a while.

you can probably get one thru mazda, dont know price but they should b able to find you one

they dont actualy make carpets for verts so if i did that id have to get a coupe set and cut it. Im not sure whats involved with doing it but ill probably get a new black coupe carpet when i can afford it but right now i cant. If i can find a deal on a good used vert carpet ill pick it up right now though.

dont throw out the old carpet, clean it, remove the padding, thats what smells and install new padding



you would be a fool to throw out the carpet a new one is only going to get wet again

Are you meaning that flute **** they glue to the bottom? that **** has been gone since the first time the top leaked.

Seppuku 01-22-2005 05:01 PM

The carpet is out now, hopefuly some pics of all this later. I guess tommorow i'll start to paint.

Is there any special things i need to paint the floor panel? Like a special primer or something.

EDIT: never mind got some primer that didnt require sanding, and fights rust ect.. Paint is done now all i got to do is start running wires and re-assemble, so basicly all thats left is everything..
