Passenger Footwell Panel
Hi All,
I need to replace the insulation for the passenger footwell panel (the panel you drop to access cabin filter and blower motor).
I found the panel via the dealer, but the diagram does not show if the insulation is included with the new panel or if I can even get the insulation insert separately.

Is it really important, with or without insulation, but I guess it must come with. I havn't checked to see if the two parts seperate easily

It's important to me, because I took the car through the touchless wash and had the climate control on (and thus, the fresh air actuator flap was open) and when I hit the gas, the lurch caused a foam party in my cabin - soaked the filter and the insulation. Drains were clear; not sure how/why it happened.
Anyway, after looking at the panel, it has a 208 part #. Apparently both the 202 and 208 panels are interchangeable. Mine has the insulation glued (apparently). Not sure if that's factory or not as I'm questioning if the C43 even came with the 208 panel.

Part # for the 202 one: 2026806836
Only difference is placement of holes (and thus insulation will be slightly different).
Let me know if your insulation is removable or if it's glued to the panel.
