First the gripe. So I am cleaning the inside of my GT in preparation for Carlisle like many of us do and removed the driver side “floor mat” to vacuum the pan out. The mat comes out sticky and appears to be of a sandwich construction. Black rubbery plastic exterior shell with a black foam core underneath. Most likely part of the Noise, Vibration, Harshness (NVH) interior acoustic package. Problem is the “glue” (or whatever adhesive substance) used to keep the two pieces together is not doing well and is oozing out allowing a debonding between the two mat components and creating a mess. This may be a time related issue or possibly a temperature related problem although the car is seldom parked in the sun (except at a DBK rally). Anyone else experienced this issue? Any solutions to fixing the OE mats? Replacing with new Ford mats with the same adhesive is not a preferred solution, nor removing the OE mats and replacing with carpet or something else.
Now the accolade. I have owned my GT for over 3 years now and never remember anyone talking about or describing the front bolster webbed pocket on our seats. I just happened to see it while I was down removing the floor mat. There is a web pocket located on the lower front portion of each of our seats which could contain a wallet, cell phone, loose change, key ring etc. With storage crevices always at a premium, I thought this was an interesting find and never knew it was there. Perhaps others did? Anyway good thinking Ford interior designers for giving us ways to store our stuff, limited as it may be!
