Installing my interior and saved all the old pieces for patterns. But I don't know where these two pieces go. The markings on the old ones are really no help.

car did not have a console or deposit box.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Mark has them both right.

Test fit those short pieces & they should wrap perfectly on the front of seat cross member, just between the raised areas on the side, then mark & mask the floor so you can spray that surface neatly without too much overspray clean-up afterwards (assuming you're using one of the 2 surface spray adhesives like 3M 77, 90, etc.).

Do the same test fit, mark & mask for the rest too, but only spray a couple of small or 1 large piece at a time (spraying both floor area & leather backside) to give you enough out-time/dry time to get it positioned & on comfortably. Use a couple-a-3-4 long wooden dowels from Home Despot/Lowes to lay under the leatherette to prevent contact with the sprayed floor surface while you position & smooth-out & roll it on, moving them out of the way while working from one end to the other.

If you've ever done Formica/etc. with 2-surfact application contact cement - it's a similar process. A small rubber roller helps with the final step of pushing the vinyl into the floor/cement, but a sturdy new/unused small paint roller can work, but requires more going back-n-forth since you can't push it as hard into the vinyl/floor.

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
