Now that we’ve got our speaker kick panels mounted, all of our stereo wiring run and the carpet padding is in, we can install a front carpet kit in our 1971 Super Beetle Restoration. We’re going to install a Premium kit which has precut holes for the shifter, the parking brake, and rear seat belt holes. It also has a scuff pad on the tunnel next to the accelerator pedal. Follow along as we cover some tips and tricks we used to install a new carpet kit.

I bought my TMI kit from you guys. Worked out well!
Looking awesome!
Nice instructional video. It was a big help. I used the same TMI Premium Kit, one step at a time. Used tar board, padding and carpet. It looks good and the floor is pretty well sound proofed. Now to find a good video on carpeting behind the rear sear. It's a '69 Sedan, but what I'm tearing out seems to be original square weave carpet and not a replacement as Id assumed.

Padding does not come with carpet. Padding is recommended but not essential.

Thanks for this video, great job. Q, do you sell the carpet padding ? I’m looking for something similar for the roof of my headliner for my 63’

They sell the carpet padding and offer alternatives like heat shield or hush mat.

They sell full rolls of jute pad at lowes for a decent price. Here is a link. www.lowes.com/pd/Insulayment-100-sq-ft-Premium-0-125-in-Flooring-Underlayment/1000364901?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-flr-_-google-_-pla-_-245-_-soslaminate-_-1000364901-_-0&placeholder=null&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=CjwKCAjw1uiEBhBzEiwAO9B_HaCEAgTbYCTQXl2TtE9wMhCQvD2dBLkOZEnUZQI695jCfAelhfOT2hoC8GoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

If you are referring to the floor mats, yes, they are linked in the "SHOW MORE" above, and here if it's easier - www.jbugs.com/product/34-M1021-COLOR.html

We didn't install HushMat on the heater channels, but you can if you'd like.
How many cans of glue did you go through?
@Sam_Mebane

For the front carpet kit, I believe it was 2 or 3 cans.
Do you have to remove the shifter ?
@michaelrobinson1945
3 жыл бұрын
Yep! I suppose you COULD do it with the shifter in place, but it would look really crappy. I was worried about that, too. And it did take multiple attempts to adjust it correctly, but it worked out. Every time we successfully do something we've never done before, we gain experience.

Ideally, yes. There are only 2 bolts, it isn't that difficult.
Is that loctite spray?

No, it's a different brand we sell - www.jbugs.com/product/Sprayglue-GH.html. Any fabric to metal spray adhesive will work though.
