Got a wet mat??

[UNEVEN THOUGHTS]

I found that the leak was comming in from around the big rubber grommet and flowing down behind the glove compartment. It seems that if the grommet isn't tight enough in the hole the water will run along the seam and into the truck, soaking everything untill you end up with that puddle on the floor. The good news is that you can fix for about $4.00, the bad news I found is that if you had standing water you'll need to replace that sectin of carpet, the fiberglass matt and the thick black matting that runs from the floor up behind the dash. The musty smell WILL NOT go away, no matter what you use on it, so dont waste your money. I apologize a head of time if this doesn't work for you and I've wasted your time and money.

Here's How I Fixed It:

Go to Auto Zone and buy a can of that spray on rubber sound reducer. $4.00

Pop the hood and unbolt the cruse controll thing so you can get a good angle to spray the grommet. Make sure you spray the seam all the way around.

Take out your passenger seat, sill plate, the kick plate, and the little round discs that hold the carpet against the firewall. Remove everything that's wet and nasty and throw it out, even remove the black matting stuck to the firewall.

Pickup all the water w/ a shop vac and let the carpet dryout a little before crawling under the dash to look around.

Once the floorboards are dry grab a flashlight and look way up under the dash for the backside of that ****'n gromet , it'll be all the way up in the corner. Just keep pulling that black matting out till you can get a clear shot with your can o' rubber. Have someone spray the inside of the engine compartment with a hose so you can see where the water's comming in. Dry the area, get your rubber, cover your eyes, pull your T-shirt over your nose and spray the B***h down. You can give the firewall a few coats too while your there.

Let it dry for a few minutes then spray down that corner of the engine compartment again w/ a hose and quickly check inside for leaks. If you see water dripping, get back under the dash w/ your spraycan and flashlight.

Just remember to always dry the area
before you spray the rubber on it. For some reason it doesn't like moisture at all. The detailing guy I brought my smelly carpet to barly put a dent in the ever-present oder and told me straight out it'll need to be replaced. So that's next on my list. I hope this helps.
