Re: The "In over my head" build thread

11/4 - Leveling the playing field

Alright so a couple weeks ago when " first installed the ACC carpet (that was too short) I did a little side project on the leveling mats for the rear cargo area.

Mine were in...rough shape but i thought I'd try to salvage them. I ordered a roll of some mass loaded vinyl for sound deadening purposes and planned to use it under the carpet. So I took my falling apart mats...

....cut out the shape in the vinyl...

...and used some high strength adhesive to affix it on top of my mats to strengthen them and prevent further deterioration.

Got them in the truck, cut another sheet of the vinyl to go between the two leveling mats) then laid the new rear carpet with my helper (ACC replaced the carpet after giving a few simple measurements and pics, shipped for free, and didn't want my old carpet back. Not sure what to do now with a old piece!)
