This is on my survivor 1969 Road Runner. The problem with the original front rug was water damage caused by a leaking windshield gasket which ruined the rug in the driver's footwell. The padding under the heel pad was pretty much disintegrated. This was all covered up by a floor mat, but I still didn't like it. What I decided to do was reuse the original jute padding, which is thicker, heavier and is properly cut and placed. There is only a small section of padding that is needed as seen in the photos below. I'm going to ask ACC if they can make up a new rug and not attach the padding.
Notice the cutouts for the gas pedal, clutch rod, dimmer switch & wiring routing into the sill.....
Original padding versus ACC. Their padding doesn't come up to the edges of the sills (in relation to the edge of the heel pad).
