Anyone know how these fit in the rear compartment of a 1970 Coupe? Bought from Top Flight but they are not answering emails or phones. Thanks.

Try matching up to a carpet sample, maybe that will help.
I working on a convertible so not much help other than some will chime in that jute is a waste.

I put them up against the carpet and it is close, but requires trimming, which I hesitate to do until I know for sure. Agree with the ‘jute is a waste’, not sure it is required after putting down the Dynamat.

It's a waste, I'm doing carpet now with Dynamat and I'm going jutless.

Thanks, that helps. I’m not going to worry about getting the Jute perfect, just fill and pad around the area.

There should be two of the small pieces. One goes at the top of each of the rear wheel wells. Don't know what that large piece is for.

Jute def helps. Remember these cars new only had jute and were fine…only after 30 years is it a prob. I did kilamat .050, then vette nuts full foil insulation kit, then top flight jute with foil and then ACC new carpet with jute. Underside is foil backed fiberglass heat film. 2.5hr drive and didn’t feel anything in the car.
