Howdy!

Glued the carpet to the underlay last night and used up all the last of the contact adhesive (which is good as the lid was glued shut and I had to puncture the can to pour the remnant out). Also made up a sheet of foam/vinyl laminate from off cuts to use to fill in gaps. I filled up a couple of gaps last night.

Today, got another tin of adhesive and a new brush. Glued down the front and trimmed the carpet back around the passenger-side B-pillar. Looks good.

I glued down enough to pick up the underlay, but I didn’t do any around the accel pedal as it would have been a fiddle doing it right with only one person. I figured that can be glued down out of the car.

I figure the plan from here on in is…
- take the carpet/underlay out of the car and finally glue it down.
- pack-up any low spots with underlay off-cuts + fill-in any sound insulation gaps that need doing.
- punch holes
- final trim of the carpet
- install trim/seats

Thoughts?
