I noticed that the sponge covering the pump in the boot was a little damp today (whilst i was getting the spare tyre changed!) and it got me thinking about how/if it could be protected in some way so that if water does get into the boot, then the sponge wouldn't soak it up.
So the idea I had was to try and use some of the plastic (or whatever its made of) material that is used for damp proof courses. My thinking being that I could slide it under the sponge between the boot floor and the sponge and also on the top of the sponge and the sides. That would maintain the protection that the sponge provides as well as protecting the sponge itself from water.
Anyone done anything similar? Would this increase the chances of condensation forming etc?
Am I being completely stupid?
Thanks
