Hi Guys.
Does anyone know why there is a bit cut out of the consul carpet in the drivers footwall ?? (see photo). I thought at first that the previous owner had cut this piece out for some reason, but looking for a replacement have noticed that they all have this cut out. Should there be a grille or piece of plastic or something to cover up the sound/rattle deadening foam behind the carpet where this cut out is ??

Thanks guys.
