Re: Sound deadening/carpeting trunk

Willis, I had the mats and panels to use as patterns. The material is easy to cut, and as I mentioned above, does not unravel. I laid the carpet material on the floor, placed the mats and panels over it, traced the outline with chalk, and cut with regular household sissors (sp.?). The first ones I did had the material face up, this is why there is a white outline from the chalk marking. Later, I traced on the back side. I glued the carpet material to the side and rear seat panels. I also glued the carpet to the wheel wells. I glued the carpet over home carpet padding for the floor covering, but did not glue the padding to the floor of the trunk. I used 3M spray adhesive. This job was described in my project blog: "Adventures With Another Clipper", which is on this site in the Project Blog section, but probably a few pages down by now as I did the job last year.
