    Carpet replacement 110

    I've strip my cab and installed dynamat and e-therm and will be replacing previous ill-fitting carpets with new marine carpet. How do I go about measuring the different sections and cutting them? Is there some sort of trace paper that I could use to cut template first and then trace onto marine carpets?

    Please let me know if you've done thie before. there are some tricky bits in teh front footwells and the seatbox and want to make sure it looks professional.

    If this works for bulkheads in a boat, it should do the job.

    If you are not convinced, you could always use this method to create a cardboard version and trace that onto the carpet.

    Cereal packets work a treat.
    You can cut, sticky tape bits back on, re-cut then when the template finally fits to your satisfaction draw round it with tailor's chalk (very thin chalk from a sewing company or Big W/K Mart) onto the marine carpet.
    The chalk rubs off once you've finished.

    Looking at doing something very similar for my 2012 D90, though Mine will be just Matts not a full carpet. Let me know how you go. are you going to have the Carpet 'edged' at all?

    Will do. I wasn't planning on edging it seeing as the marine carpet doesn't leave a frayed edge.

    Had 5mm rubber in under marine carpet and still noisyt. Rubber does not have a lot of sound deadening qualities
