Under Carpet insulaltion
Need Advice:
I am replacing my carpet in my 80 vette and is like any other vette, hot as h@ll inside the cabin. I read all the treads for advice and going to put a shutoff valve on the heater hose. I also want to put the heat resistive carpet underlayment like dynamat. My question is what thickness carpet underlayment and what kind should I use that will fit under the carpet like the original jute underlayment that will still let the carpet fit properly?

I just had my carpet redone in my 82. I just bought the pre-cut kit for mine......the installer never complained.....so I guess, it fit ok. It was the insulation with foil on both sides.

I used the HVAC insulation (foil bubble-wrap type) from Home Depot. No problems with thickness when installing my carpet.
