W124 Front mats and deadening

[Rob77]

The front mats have thick deadening foam stuck to the underside and I'm cleaning them up and drying them out. Is this deadening permenantly bonded on or can I just pull it off? I mean obviously I can remove it but will it cause damage so I should leave it stuck down?

.....I know, but, personally I think the S/D is part & parcel of the carpeting. I would leave it stuck on, although sometimes with age it tends to come off anyway. (and cracks).
