Tbp premium carpet install

[croft75]

Need some tips on install there are no instruction included, so if you have done it any tips would help

- is the premium under pad spray glued to the floor?

- is the carpet spray glued to the underpaid?

- does the sewn edge go under the carpet hold down or just past

- how did you locate seat / seatbelt holes?

- did you cut out a square hole around bolt holes in underpaid

Also is the underpaid cut back an inch so that there is no underpaid under trim pieces

I just got finished doing my interior. I put padding down on my floors with new carpet over that. One big tip you should do, leave the seat bolts and seat belt bolts in place when doing any padding and carpet. Then just make a small slice in the padding/carpet for the head of the bolt to come thru. Mark the carpet with a black marker and that will give you the locations of the holes.

I was really happy with this kit. If anything, the fit was generous, which I preferred. It's held up really well and totally worth the extra $ IMO.

My order:
Floor with bolts in place
Spray adhesive
Padding with foil upward, slits for bolts
Spray adhesive
Carpet with slits for bolts

I also cut 1/2" plywood sides to cover the rear wheel well cavities, used extra padding and sound deadener on the backsides, and wrapped them with carpet from a local fabric store, staple gun to the backside. This made a huge difference for sound, and also provides a spot to mount rear speakers if you want them.

For the bolts, I used a soldering iron. Made it a lot easier, rather than cutting the carpet.

Thunderball,
How did you secure the plywood to the fender wells? I'd love to see a picture of this.
