[T3] "SuperMat"

["Gamboa, Gary" <Gary.Gamboa@sylvania.com>]

I am thinking of building a "SuperMat" I call it.
I want to incorporate sound absorption, heat shield
and surface protection into a single mat.

I was thinking of buying an aftermarket rubber mat, then 
using adhesive to join it with a sound absorber/
barrier from McMaster-Carr. The material I'm looking at
is 1.30" thick. (How thick was the stock dampening material?)

I didn't want to adhere the sound dampener directly to
the rear deck because the stock dampening material I 
tore out of the car was wet, and disintegrated when I
pulled it out. I've fixed all my leaks now, but if leaks
recur, I want the flexibility inspect down to the bare
metal, without having to remove the glued dampening material.

Any issues with this?
