Default Carpet Padding or Backing -- source?

I've looked around online, run searches here, and gone to some local stores... but I can't seem to find replacement padding for the factory carpets.

My issue is that my passenger side developed a leak. It was only wet 3 times and one of those was a soaker from a tropical storm. The carpet is ok, but I removed the padding beneath because it had withheld the moisture and begun to get moldy.

I'm remedying the leak, adding heat shielding and sound deadening around the cabin, and would like to get a good replacement for this padding.

Or an upgrade if there is such a thing.

Does anyone have suggestions or links?

Much appreciated.

Go to lowes or Home Depot. I dunno what the stuffs called but it's what they put under lenolium or fake hardwood flooring to keep it from clicking. Comes in a decent sized roll
