All this talk about the rubber front floor mats lately leads me to post this. Now, this is an observation I've made of the many Bay window buses I've owned, and I could be wrong on this,but... every Bay I've owned that had the rubber front mat also had significant rust on the cab floor. Bays also had the rubber seat stand mats, and that is another area I've found a significant amount of rust. It is my belief that these mats trap moisture under them and lead to rusting out the floor. I could be wrong, and I'm sure many will tell me I am, but it's just what I've noticed. Jeff
