RE: [T3] what I found after removing my seats...(pics)

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

The pan is ribbed and the tar pad is adhered to the top of the ridges
(loosely speaking).  Thus water can easily flow under the tar pad and remain
for some time.  I know with my tar pads the top-most layer would absorb/hold
water -- water didn't bead up on it like it would on wax paper.
