Re: What is this sticky pad
I call it a sticky pad. There is no official GM name for it.
Dont worry about it. Or if you are just that picky that the thought of a worn out sticky pad out of sight UNDER the carpet keeps you from sleeping at night just grab a tube of seam sealer and smooth it over.
And if you insist on cleaning off the old gooey substance use lacquer thinner or standard paint thinner.
If you spend a lot of time worrying about this petty crap you will probably never drive and enjoy that car like it was made to be. Dont overthink it.

Re: What is this sticky pad
I have the metal plugs. I dismantled the car in 2007 and moved twice since then but i did take many pictures and have the parts packed and labeled. its been a long time but I'm ready to start putting it back together.
