Dang it. Was it the type w the mass backing that retails for about $200? I've read mixed reviews on ACC which is the brand that latemodel sells as well as every other retailer out there. I tried to seek out another brand but it seems like ACC has the market cornered and is the only show in town.I got the carpet from LMR.. it was not that easy to install... In fact i effed it up and left it a bit short on the passenger side... it's not really moulded well and was hard to get all folds out of curves. What a pain.. Now I need to figure out how to remedy it.
I always let mine lay flat in the sun on in the car in the sun and get it good and hot so the folds are not an issue. I am sorry you got one that must have been pressed off center. Of all the ones I have used or sold through a parts store, never was there a problem with fit. The only problem I heard of in person was with someone not knowing how to reinstall their seats without bolt holes for their seats and belts.I got the carpet from LMR.. it was not that easy to install...

Actually stock interiors is $26 more if you choose the $57 mass backing option and after shipping is paid.stockinteriors.com
Acc carpet for 100.00 less than LMR.
Oh and excellent advice, thanks man.Gentleman Gentleman Gentleman
Regardless of the type of backing you order, a steam iron is nearly a necessity to get that stuff all worked into and pressed into the corners and curves.
I discovered this purely on accident. My mother is an avid quilt maker etc., she has some pretty high dollar clothing irons and the one with the teflon bottom became my friend for the day. hehe
Just don't tell your mom that you're using her $400+ clothing iron for auto interior. hehe The cheapos would have worked as well. I didn't know one from another and this one looked legit.
I'll remember that thanksBe ready to touch up the floorboards while you are there with POR15 or other rust type paint.

Yeah I was thinking I'd see what kind of shape it's in before I choose which chemical agent I'd use. If it's not bad w a lil surface rust I think it might just get a coat or two of rustoleum. I think it's ok but there not telling, she traveled down some dirt roads in her younger days but she's a tough ole gal.No rust, dont worry about it... you could do some dynamat type sound deadener though...
A little surface rust wire wheel and rustoleum or something
Speaking of seatbelts... I really need one. I searched my ballz off awhile back w online w no real luck. I guess I need to try the wrecking yard.no salt in TX, bet they're factory clean, my vert is and verts leak..... take off the door scuff plate and unbolt the seatbelt and you can lift the carpet pretty high to see...
