New Carpet installation

I purchased a new carpet for my 65 Dodge Dart convertible. I could use some tips on installation up and beyond the instructions that came with the carpet. How is the best way to knock out the seatbelt bolts and such without having the carpet pull or run? Any advice would be much appreciated.

As always thanks to all that read and respond.

Regards
Bill
