carpet install...any tips?

Let the carpet sit out for a day or two before installing. I do the rear section first. If you're using molded carpet, make sure it fits snugly into the contours of the floor pan before making any cuts. The seat belt holes can be tough to find once the carpet is already in, but once you find them, put the seat belt bolts in a few turns so the carpet doesn't move.

When installing the front section, make sure you don't cut too much on the top where the carpet meets the firewall under the dash. I trim the sides first, then work on the top where the firewall is.

I'm sure there are some seasoned pros on here that have a lot more tricks. Good luck.
