Re: White stuff under carpet

Now that it's out do you have any better idea what it is? I've never seen anything that looked like that in one of these cars, so I'm inclined to think it was something that somehow ended up under the seat????

Re: White stuff under carpet

if you've ever scraped/scratched something ceramic, that's what this piece sounds like when i do it to that. but I still do not know what it is. I'm sure there's more too.

Re: White stuff under carpet

...If PO had put in new carpet, and had a critter problem, maybe it's pieces of mothballs? I think they lose their smell over time? I dunno... Only guessing till we get the forensic answers!!! Keep us in the loop!

Re: White stuff under carpet

Wow that is weird... did you say there was anymore or was that the only piece? I have a feeling that this is gonna be one hell of a long thread.
