Here’s where to discuss anything specific about your standard(ish) car or something that applies to the model in general.

Might have to do with the lack of carpet when I got it

This is the shot of the butle rubber/ foil sound deadening over the sills and just about everything

Closed cell foam for extra quiet comfort under the feet and seat

Hi,

I am with my learned friend Mr Turner, fill those sills with Waxoyl and any other cavity's you can. My FHC was Ziebarted from new and they drilled holes to fill the sills, although messy stuff I am sure it has helped preserve her.

Cheers John

Agreed. The yellow FHC was ziebarted from new and the rear screen still boasts the centennial logo!

Has anyone used double sided sticky tape to stick the carpet to the inner sill and transmission tunnel?
If when using spray adhesive is it necessary to cover all the back of the carpet with adhesive or is it enough to stick just the outside edges of the carpet to the inner sill and transmission tunnel?

Regards

Mike.

I've used both methods in the past...........sticky tape - use the stuff that professional carpet fitters use, both surfaces must be clean. Contact adhesive - again use something the professionals use, not diy stuff, the spreadable stuff is more practical.
