39 coupe interior
Hi Folks
I’m getting ready to replace the front rubber mat. Under old mat the current insulation looks like (best I can describe) horse hair. What’s the best way to remove it? It may be glued down. I would like to install better insulation, Or do I just go over the top of this old insulation? Also any trick / shortcuts installing new mat?

To remove the old mat, you'll need to do (obviously) what's necessary. It wasn't originally glued and hopefully (my guess) it isn't now. rather, it's just "stuck" in places from being there so long. Usually it can be removed fairly easily - no scraping required, just "rolling" with your fingers.

Re: 39 coupe interior
Mike thanks. Just to be sure we’re on same page. The horse hair insulation (under tha mat) is what I was referring to that appears glued down.

Yep, same page. Like I'd mentioned previously, it was not originally glued down. I'm guessing it's just stuck due to age.

In fact the 39's had a heavy tar paper identical to the stuff in the roof of the car and between the inner and outer sheet metal of the trunk lid. The so called 'waffle weave" paper. I've attached a photo of a pair of authentic pieces I'd removed from a coupe. I suspect the mat and "horse hair" insulation in the OP's first post is a replacement.

Re: 39 coupe interior
Kube, is there a source for the waffle weave paper or a modern replacement?

Re: 39 coupe interior
Drake sells the paper in rolls. Enough to make the pair. You need the thicker of the two he sells.
