C3 Carpet Question
I have a 68 coupe, and I installed the black rubber backed jute and the carpeting I got had jute on it. I found out the carpet is sold with and without the jute on it. It seems to have to much padding. Should I have got the carpeting with out the jute? AL.

You can just pull the jute off the carpet if you think it's too thick. Sounds like you've got about 3/4" between the two layers of jute, right? That's pretty thick, but it might work. Just be careful around the pedals. I had to keep mine very thin there to maintain full pedal travel.

My rear compartment was bare carpet against glass...except the fender areas. Those had jute glued to the carpet. I replaced everything with the Al Knoch kit and their's was the same construction as what I pulled out...
