Carpet insulation replacement ideas
Posted by imfirealarmman@reddit | projectcar | View on Reddit | 5 comments
All, I’m building a low buck, 2nd Gen Prius for my wife as a commuter. The original carpet and insulation was soaked with water and mildew. Anything I can order off Amazon as a potential replacement for the carpet insulation? I got a replacement carpet from the junkyard today as the original has lots of “stash holes” in it.

Just buy junkyard carpet.

Did you seal the leaks? They leak at the back of the gutters around where the hatch meets the roof on each side. Clean them really good and you should see hairline cracks there.

I’ll take a look at this. I think someone broke the hatch glass, and it sat in the weather. It has a premium hatch on a base trim car.

Fair enough. It’s just super super common on the 2nd gens. Like they basically all have that problem. The body seam sealer cracks and they leak
