Hi. Can anybody explain how you get the carpet to fix to the wheelarch/footwell area please? By the time the soundproofing is on there there is nothing more to fix to. Its a Newton set in a peculiar colour if that helps????

Bit late for a reply, but a handy hint for others...

Stick the soundproofing to the carpet first, then you can stick them to the footwell area alot neater
( make sure you put plenty of contact adhesive on both areas before sticking together)

All done now but as on previous occassions I find that the spray glue seems to give up when it is used on folded edges eg dash cards etc even when I use countless bulldog clips and let it go off for a week??? Is there a brush on adhesive anybody can recommend as in future i would prefer to use this on these edges. Cheers

Evo-Stik 528 Industrial Contact Adhesive can be brushed on ... best i've used so far for carpets etc ... the spray adhesive isn't really strong enough especially where it has to fight gravity
