Hans,
Look in a current issue of the Moss or Victoria British catalogs (if you
have access to them!) There are pictures of the carpet sets fully laid out
in the proper position. If you don't have these catalogs, email me your
fax number (please include country code!). I will try to fax you a page
that shows the carpet kit laid out.
Regards,

> This is a real puzzle, because the car did not have full carpets in when
it

> Some shapes are recognizable, others are not. Funny the kit is ready for

> Is there anyone who has done this job before?
> The questions are:

> 1 Has anyone a kind of drawing of the contents of the box showing
> where to fit every
> piece of the puzzle?
> 2 What kind of glue should I use and how thick should the glue be
> applied?
> 3 The back of the original carpets have a thick insulating layer.
> Should this be removed and
> be glued to the new carpets? The new ones have a rubberish backing.
> 4 Can I use double sided self adhesive foam instead of glue?
> 5 The old carpets were able to be "clicked" onto the floor a.o. The
> new carpets do not bear
> these materials. What is recommended in this - new ones fitted or
> not...
>
> The partnumber of the kit looks like CK004K; another number on the box is
> 149T.
> I don't know where the carpet kit has come from, while it was part of the
> purchase.
>
> Thank you in advance for your help.
