Insulation under carpet, Is there any insulation under there? Options

[brooks944]

Hi, getting a new carpet kit from 914Rubber installed. My interior has been completely stripped and repainted. Is there any kind of insulation that goes underneath?

Thanks, Rick

Thanks Rand. The tar wasn't stripped since the floor pans are good. So the carpet just goes over that and what about the sides and other areas that are bare metal?

Appreciate the help, my car came from your area of the country (it's from WA!).

My only concern after hearing that is, you can't know the condition of the metal under the tar. Hopefully you are lucky and have a solid floor pan. If you want to investigate more, look into the rear passenger corner carefully under the tar. That area is prone to rust, but it hides under the tar. Not trying to bring a downer thought, just sharing.

Sounds like yours may be a clean exception. Congrats. Glad it found it's way to you from "the soggy side of nowhere." (An old Seattle WCR reference (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )
