Scott: I'd think you'd want the foil side up. If you place the foil against
the hot surface, it's just a conductor and gets as hot as the floor.. With
the felt down against the floor, the felt acts as an insulator, and then the
foil reflects that heat and reduces transmission into the interior of the
car. JMO
