Carpet? How Tough?

[jcawley3]

How tough is it to replace the carpet? thinking of taking it somewhere so I did not have to fool with it, but figured I would ask first.

depends on what kind of carpet you buy

it's easy to DIY. A couple things to remember.

First, keep your old carpet as a template. Second, let the new carpet sit in the driveway under the warm sun for a while so that it will be easier to work with.

Should not take very long at all.

John your kidding right lol, anyone that could sleep in that little tent at renolds on a 35 degree night can handle changing carpet out hahahahhaa. Here is the trick, like said set it in the sun for a while, take your seats , console out. After you pull yours put the new in and what I did was then put the car in the sun with the new carpet in it laying loose on the floor and shut up the car. Get it HOT HOT HOT in there. After about an hour or so open the doors and start getting it put in the right spot perfect and putting it down with the scuff plates, cut holes for shifter cable , seat bolts, etc. Its not hard just time consuming. Good luck bub Daniel Ray
