to cut some notches in the insulation to  allow clearance for the snaps. =

again, I would do it over again the same way, no question. =20

Why not used what is designed for the purpose, veltex snaps?=20

They are designed to snap to a male snap, as used to hold a tonneau =
down.  They are a two piece fastener, one piece goes through the top of =
the carpet, has spikes to hold to the second piece on the bottom that =
forms the female half.  The top half becomes invisible when the carpet =
is brushed over/around it.  I use these in my TR6 at the head of the =
floor carped on the firewall.  Work great, hold fast, easy to snap on =
and off.

Moss number is 226-338 for the veltex ring & spike, 226-800 for an =
example of the male snap; just for reference, not being pushy.
