I removed the carpet with moldy padding underneath it, but behind the foot pedals and glove compartment is a thick black plastic-like covering with the same sort of carpet-padding beneath it. I would like to get it out and replace it. Does anyone know what the material is or what would make a good replacement that will deaden sound, protect from heat, and not mold? Thanks. 89 Honda Accord LXi ---

At a parts store usually or JC Whitney catalog. ---

There’s a product called Dynamat used as a vibration damper in stereo installations. That might work. ---

Look in Hemmings ( the antique car mag ) There are many floor and firewall universal coverings that can be cut to fit. ---

The suggestions given are good. You could also find a local upholstery shop and inquire there.
