if you toss the padding, just first try taking pics so u can remember size and location on the padded sections. then once removed if the smell goes away, you can buy a roll of new padding with heat reflective backing at an auto parts store and cut and glue sections back to help cut down on road noise and heat transferred through the floor.

or buy a used carpet off ebay or similar, a used one will be easier to fit than new.
