What´s the correct way for doing the carpet?
Brown padding glued on the backing of the carpet? Then laid loosely on the floor pan, being just held in place by the sill covers?
Or were both glued down?

Thank you

The padding should have been glue down on the carpet by the manufacture at least that was how mine was done.   ???
But yes padding glue on the carpet only on the areas of the floor pan even around the middle hump, none going on the back firewall area.

No need for glue on the padding to the floor pan.

Good luck..!

Thanks.
I´m not doing a new carpet - I´m rust-proofing my floor pans and have to deal with reattaching the carpet. The padding had come loose in most places but sticks to the floor pan in some areas, too. That´s why I got confused.
