The previous owner rubberised the interior for some reason. I thought that it was still in a good condition and that I would just clean it out and I would carpet over it.

But the weekend with some closer inspection I realised that it was lifting and that the one door is leaking, causing water to build up between the rubberising and the floor-pan.

Here's some before photos.

Started lifting the rubberising ..... this is not going to be an easy job.

Agree, can't decide on the interior yet.

A heat gun should do the trick. There is always some hidden surprises.

One possible reason for the rubberising is that helps with noise isolation. A better approach, in my opinion, would be to install a purpose made noise isolation material like Dynamat (there are probably some other brands as well).

If you can get dry ice, or Liquid nitrogen, Spread it over the rubberizing and you will hear it crack

Then just lift and remove with a scraper, as it will be loose, wear gloves, or loose you fingers.

Pro Auto Rubber is now selling a product which does heat insulation as well as sound deadening, at a fraction of the cost of Dynamat. I've bought some and am very satisfied with it.

if you go the Dry Ice route then there is a place here in Spartan that sells pellets and blocks of dry ice (Dry Ice Africa)

I'd go marine vinyl. It's more expensive than Kehl's vinyl but stronger and more durable. Also more UV resistant.
