I have a morph carpet set and I fancy removing the backpad and replacing with carpet, but does he offer a kit? If not who has done it, how does it look and what did you do at the edges??

Ok I did mine 2 weeks ago and I used his plush kit, I think it looks fantastic. I asked for a little extra on the edges so i could cover the sides up to the door seal and up to the roll bar pads. ( This is MORPH'S kit! )

That looks pretty good. How did you attach the carpet to the firewall. Some type of adhesive?

I'd like to bring this thread back up top. Whoever has done the carpet on the back firewall, as JJ914GT asked, how is the top finished where the carpet meets the window?
And, at one point, I found an alternative to Dynamat, but can't find it now....anybody know or shoudl I just use Dynamat?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'm still wanting to see and hear more detail about finishing off the top of the firewall.

Bob, do a search for fatmat and you should find a couple of threads that discuss all of the alternatives to Dynamat.

914world.com search for fatmat <- Link

I will post some photos of the rubber part I used to trim off my firewall carpet. I cut the carpet to the bottom of the rear window and used the rubber trim with clear dbl side tape to the lower 1" of glass to finish it off. Ben.
