Trying to identify material in rear trunk
 
Fixing up a 99' Boxster after it suffered a serious mouse infestation. The issue I'm having is the mice ate away this foam material that is under the electronics in the rear trunk. See pic...

I want to replace it, but have no idea what it is or where to find it. If there is an alternative material I can use that is commercially available, that would be fine with me.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

I bet Woody (ItsNotaNova) could help you with that. He's always parting out cars and I bet that's something has more than one of...

I can't believe the mice didn't chew through all of your wiring! (others have not been so lucky).

Thanks for info BirdDog!

I did get lucky on the wires. I'm replacing the friction tape on the wiring this week to get get rid of the mouse funk you can see. Will look over closely for cuts.

The material needing replacing is glued on, so I don't think it can be salvaged. I'm leaning towards using
Thermo-Tec One Sided Thermo Guard Flame Retardant material, since it will provide head protection and has a carpet like material for noise and vibration.

I had to throw away liners and such, so Wally will be a good connection for that I think.
