Well I started the rear carpet installation today. Very time consuming but doable! I ended up trimming more then I thought would be needed. Glueing and placing was a challenge as well. I still need to install the screws in the compartment assembly yet but I have weight on it to help settle it in place for a few days first. Here are pics of this job.
Finished and the light actually works! Will need the sun to help it smooth out in the spring!
Lots of trimming had to be done. That was a surprise because I thought the group that was at MAM and saw this done said very little trimming but that wasnt the case for me. I cut small pieces as I went but to start I cut 3 1/2 inches off the back and 1 inch off the frt just to get it into its place.
I fit each side then glued once I was sure it fit ok. But once the glue is down its hard to get the carpet back in that perfect position. On the drivers side I probably missed that perfect spot by about 1/2 inch towards the frt. But it was still workable.
First attempt on drivers side after the 3 1/2 and 1 inch was cut. Still lots of trimming needed!
Does anyone know what this plastic threaded bolt? and the metal stud is for? The wheel well carpet covers these two and they are on both sides?
Well theres the day of work. I used the soldering gun to cut the holes into the carpet for the light and hold down rubber tabs in the rear. That seemed to work really well. Probably wont get to do to much more till next weekend.
