I've got a replacement carpet kit coming, and before I go head long into the project, I just wanna be prepared.

I've been told that, when installing the new carpet, overlap is everything.

Start with the sides, then the cetner, then the floors. But are there any hardware issues I need to know? Any tips ans tricks for smooth and professional looking installation? Anything that needs to be removed to get the job done correctly? (I'm assuming that probably the seats and center console is all I have to really worry about.. Correct?)

Thanks in advance.

Doug

they key is use the right glue and a clean surface , clean like no particulate or treads or older carpet underside, some of the upholsery spray contact glue, pre-fit everything, watch for the park brake recess, it needs more glue , takes about 1 hr to install and 2 hour of ripping the old and cleaning it up
