Sorry, but that stuff is pretty terrible for automotive use. We used to use something similar, and while it was cheap we realized we were getting exactly what we paid for. I had one piece that had a nearly complete tube sock in it between the foil layers.
After that we tried DynaLiner, the black foam self stick stuff, the 1/8" is great for roofs but it sucks on the floor. The thicker stuff doesn't conform very well and will leave dimples where your heels sit.....eventually they become permanent.
So then we went to UC Lite. Tried it on a 69 Camaro. Street, trackday, autocross car. It was less costly then the dynaliner and laid out so much nicer. We also used Floor and Tunnel shield on that car. Those two products combined made for carpet that was no warmer than ambient temperature......at a track day in July.
I now buy it by the roll. There aren't many products that I believe are the right answer all the time but UC Lite is one of them.

I've not had any problems, and I'm pretty happy with it. With it only being 3/8" thick you'd think you could see a tube sock..
