You guys should definitely do more how-to videos. I know there are people newer into vw’s that could use guidance on stuff like this. Great job on this one! Can’t wait for next weeks video!

[@tylerburgess7664]

You guys should grab a gimble for recording. It'd take out the shakey-unlevel stuff. Not being a gripe. I love the content. Keep doing what you do!

So, what i need to install a new carpet kit in my bug: 1-TMI carpet kit 2-two cans of a good adhesive 3- sharp exacto knife 4- Martin (the bearded wonder) and Gary. Got it!

[@raymondwall277]

Kool stuff - WHERE IS MATT JACKSON! ?? Any flashbacks from the fumes? 🤪🤣😎✌️

[@TheJorgSacul]

I've got decent carpet in mine.. but this makes me want to tear it out and put in new, that looks SOOOO good!

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

An alternative to using spray adhesive is industrial strength Velcro...that way you can reposition the carpet during installation and remove it if you ever need to get to the structure underneath it. That's how I installed my TMI kit a few years back and it's holding up great (pun intended)

[@tiyukitv6508]

only a true car guy can appreciate this. awesome😎❤

[@galencurrington8704]

The e brake boot goes under the carpet. Lol. In 25 years I’ve never glued the main carpet down completely because if someone wants to run speakers or the main brake line goes bad or the e brake boot goes bad, or you decide later you want to put in a new harness. You’ll have to pull the carpet back up and sometimes the glue won’t let loose and it will ruin the carpet and you’ll have to buy another kit. I’ve seen some carpet kits were the shifter bolts will be under the carpet so you have to pull the carpet up and over to get to the bolts. Im surprised you didn’t put more padding on the floor.

Sequencing is critical to this process. Gary is so organized. Good job guys!

[@fromthebeginningofvankind28]

I really appreciate this tutorial . Very well done. I'm sure this will help many VW'ers (including myself). Tips and tricks from experience are always helpful. Thanks guys it looks so much nicer with carpet. Keep it up.

[@mayinnlin1879]

Thank you so very much for sharing guys! Looking awesome great job. Love it and enjoy watching VW Life. 👍❤️

[@67Oldvolks]

VW Life…helpful & entertaining! What else could ya ask for??

[@caldeira99]

Thank you for showing and explaining how to install new carpet. I am not at that stage as of yet. The more I watch all of you it gives me hope I can do this for my little baby car and get her on the road again. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love this channel.

[@mattm9579]

Thank you all, very much, this is one of the best, down to earth, easy to follow, clearly described , DIY videos on doing the interior of an old school beetle that I have seen in a LOOOOOOOOONG time. Clear, easy, you didn't make it sound like one needed an Astrophysicist degree to be able to do,, just got in and did it!!

[@rundoetx]

Now, that was sweet. More of these instruction videos wont hurt my feelings, lol. Thanks for posting.

[@n2vdubz]

Thank you so much for this informative vid VW Life!! I'm about to do the carpet kit in my '59 euro Bug here shortly, and I wasn't sure what order to install in. Now I've got a better idea of where to start, and what to look out for in the process. Cheers from Maine!

[@IrishRooster86]

Very nicely done, as always great video lads. Peace love and VW life.

[@jennysolomon-haase9103]

Great video! I'm definitely going to install the new carpet myself!

[@dirkjansen4309]

Such a good job, guys! Yes, you obviously need good tools, patience - and a handful of good friends next to you. Laughed out loud about F.L.A.P.S - i'll keep that in mind! 😊😉👍

[@gtags1]

That looks so good can't wait to see it with the seats back in!
