Anyone have a link to a detailed carpet installation how-to? I bought the carpet kit, floor vinyl, and sill trim from 914Rubber, but my '74 came with nothing on the floors, just bare metal with some kind of thin adhesive-backed sound deadener. I've got these pieces all laid out on my garage floor and other than the obvious overlay carpet pieces I'm clueless as to where all this goes and how it is attached (I'm guessing 3M spray adhesive?)
Experiences appreciated. GA |

I didn't glue anything Down for ease if cleaning. On the longs and center tunnel double stick tape. All working great after almost 2 years.

Any pictures of installation, or after it was done? |
