Just wondering if anyone has used rhinoliner or herculiner or something like that on the front floor and not cover it back up.
My vinyl floor has moisture under it so i am planning on pulling it up and id like to treat the floor with either POR15 or something to protect it....im just wondering if i should reinstall the vinyl mat or leave the mat out and get some good floor mats.
anyone have any suggestions or photos of a the front floor with rhinoliner?
The OEM mat while its own source of rust problems it does add a bit of sound deadening the Rhino-Liner material probably wouldn't have.
If you use POR-15 as directed that alone should help with any future rust issues. I used a layer of foil & PVC sheeting radiant barrier insulation over the POR-15 Silver then re-installed the OEM mat. In this way moisture from the mat cannot contact the metal floor, its very quiet too.
Me personally I'd not care for the Rhino-Liner treatment all by itself---I'm sure its durable but somehow the OEM mat seems just fine as its currently used and kept away from the metal floors.

I can't stand carpet and don't really care for rubber floor mats either. With what I do I end up with my boots covered in mud or grease. So I like being able to just hose out my vehicles.
I'm not currently using it but two of my projects are going to get this treatment. I plan to do any rust repair that's needed and then apply a coat of POR-15. Then apply multiple coats of DIY bedliner. I'm going to use Durabak. I believe it's the same company that makes Herculiner. But Durabak is available in different colors and also in the standard textured or smooth version. The nice thing about Durabak if you do happen to damage it, you can easily touch it up.
To help with the heat I plan to add some ceramic additive to the first few coats of bedliner. Here's a link to the additive I'm going with: Insulating Paint Additive Makes Paint Insulate
I'm hoping with the amount of coats I apply it will also help with the sound deadening also. It won't be as quiet as carpet with sound deadener. But my van is a work van so I'm use to having a little noise.
I plan to do my whole van interior. Except the doors and anything that is covered with trim.
Got my rubber floor mat pulled up today. The floor was soaked underneath.
I hung the mat over saw horses and within an hour there was a puddle of water under it from water in the padding under it. Keep in mind this van has been inside a heated garage and not driven for 4 months! just shows how it holds moisture.
How much of a difference is there in sound deadening with the mat and without? Im half tempted to use the roll on bed liner and just get a pair of Husky floor liners.
I used herculiner on the floor in my 73, the duraliner peeled off, yes it was scuffed first, 2 years later herculiner is still there, I have water getting in, need a hood gasket and to seal the vent, along with replacing the door gaskets. My 99 E350 leaked, was either the windshield or Lund visor, put some sealer on the corner of the visor and it stopped, at least I think it did, that stupid glue in windshield can't be just pulled and resealed, they often break on removal, should use gaskets but this is a disposable world. You will experience a lot of road noise so be ready to hear it, I suggest fixing the leak.
As far as i know, the windshield gasket is ok. I believe this water comes from water seeping between the doghouse and the rubber floor. Im located in northern Ontario so we get lots of salt and snow, this van had no floor mats.
