Re: [T3] Removed original vinyl, and found surface rust, is this critical to remove??

<x-charset iso-8859-1>Rob, here's my second thought after having Jim weigh in on this.

I agree with Jim that surface rust doesn't usually get under that sound mat.
My original comments are from all my history with cars being in New Engalnd,
car rust capitol of the world. I have to remember that some people live in
areas where cars don't get rusty! ( In Cuba, they still drive 1930s
vehicles.) So, if you are in an area that won't accelerate the surface rust
you already have, and the car is from that area, you may well be safe in
just cleaning up the surface rust you can see, stabilizing it, and putting
in your carpets when ready. But if the car is from a rust area, be ready to
pull up the sound deadening material and have a piece of the floor come up
with it.
