Default Carpet install

I now have an interior kit from Willcox, including the carpet. I also ordered, and have, the sound deandening kit and heat barrier material. When the carpet finally arrived, I found the carpet material already has a
jute (?) material applied its backside.
My question is will all this fit under the carpet: heat barrier, sound deadening, and carpet backing? I know someone out there has done it, or at least tried.
Any help appreciated.

I bet it may be too thick. I know people have removed the jute for carpet to fit with heat barriers. But....different carpet vendors have different size tolerances, yours may fit.

There probably will be areas where you will have to remove a portion of the jute for parts to fit. Especially under the seat tracks. The mount bolts will be too short. OR...buy longer bolts.

I user both, It fit really nice. I did have to trim a little on the door sills. Here is a link to my web page with a few pictures on page 2 or 3. This was a nice upgrade to not have the loud road noise and heat. good luck
