Finally ordered the carpet and heat shield (2 pieces) and they will be here today. Any advice on the install? I'm going to clean the area very well, then spray 3m Super 77 on the heat shield then place it on the floorboard. Was also going to use the Super 77 to attach the carpet to the heat shield.
Looking for any advice/guidance from those who have done it before.
Thanks in advance.
