Hi Gary, I have a two-color sample of Right now, I will probably forego the padding. I hate to remove
the horsehair stuff and then glue the new padding to the floor pan. If I don’t
glue it, I’m afraid the padding will bunch up under the carpet, so I am
thinking it would be better to stick with the original padding. I checked the websites
suggested by the club so far and all the padding seems too thick for me, so I
will probably pass on it. I was hoping to find a thin, newer technology type
of padding that would insulate for sound and heat, but haven’t seen
anything yet. Most suggestions seem to be ¼ to ½ inch thick and I can imagine
the carpet moving around on the pad. Maybe I need to research it further, and
I’ll keep you updated if I find a solution that suits better. Maybe some
more folks will chime in this evening with a better solution. I have your address from the box in which you sent the tool.
I’ll get it off tomorrow. I have removed most of the trim pieces inside and outside the
car and have them ready to send off for plating. I will try to get the
windshield wiper bases off tonight to plate, as well. Do you know how to
remove the trim pieces on the outside of the front and rear windows? I didn’t
see any nuts that would be holding them on and I am reluctant to pry them up to
see if clips are holding them, for fear of bending the time pieces. Any
suggestions? Tom |
