Early A carpets.....

Finally finished the install and am severely unhappy. Never did get what I call a good fit around the transmission tunnel.
Thanks to all who tried to assist.....

I never do a total carpet install in a day. What I do is get the carpet in where I want it and I lay bricks down. First I do the rear. Lay some bricks at the back of the carpet right before it goes over that hump that the back seat sits on. Then lay bricks on both sides of the transmission tunnel. After that, throw in the front carpet and get it aligned right. Then place the bricks along the transmission tunnel and anywhere else the carpet isn't laying on as flat as you want it.

Wait until the next weekend and remove the bricks and you'll see that the carpet has formed nicely. After that the carpet will continue to contour around the hump as the interior of the car heats up and loosens the carpet.
