Again I am asking my vette family for advice. I purchaced an interior carpet set from Mid America for my '78 SA. Any advance warnings or helpful hints before I attempt to install it? This will be my 1st attempt at carpeting. Any special prep work that needs to be done? How much glue to use and where to use it. Where not to glue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Smile

Thanks for the info, this will help. I was able to download a set of instructions from Mid America's web site.

Consider installing dynamat or similar insulation on the floorpans, footwells, and tranny tunnel before you carpet. Cuts down on interior noise and exhaust heat. The A/C systems barely keep up with the increased interior volume on the 78-up C3s, and every little bit helps.
