or do it right... cut it off and weld it back in place where it would work. If it wasnt needed VW wouldnt have put it there. You just need to move it to where its needed now

Thanks, I used an Apu 106 anti corrosive primer with black 2k paint on the chasis.
Yes I will be replacing the matting with some sound barrier material.
