hi again,

decided to remove the stuff on the back side of the engine sound pad.

noticed that parts of the stuff was rotted, meaning to me that it was

retaining water.

also noticed that the areas that were rotted corresponded with rusted areas

on the fire wall.

hopefully this was a "good" idea,,,,,, not sure that it could hurt anything.

Good. They're rust incubators.

Get the HF Multi Tool. With the wide flat blade it cuts it off the firewall like butter.
