Carpet Installation Question? Help!
I am installing new carpet and the back part was already removed before I started therefore I don't have anything to look at or compare to. The front part I have already installed--sure not a 2 hour project!!The back on each side has a large cut out rubber piece that appears would hold the carpet away from the sides above the wheel wells. Question--where do they go and secondly what do you with the carpet around the drain tubes going from the rear ventilation vent to the outside wheel well. I am really confused on how the carpet goes in on the sides. The form it is sent in does not help at all and of course no directions at all. Bought it from ACC which seems to be the supplier to every corvette catalog out there. I can't go any further until I can figure this out. If you have any pictures that would really help. Thanks Paul

Do a search. There's been tons of posts on interior restorations w/pics.
When you find them, click on the image & drag it to your desktop . Make a folder to keep the images in. Then you'll have them later for reference. I print color images all the time & 3 hole punch them and put them in my AIM for additional reference.

The AIM does have a sheet that will give you some help as to where the pieces are supposed to go. Sheet # F31. I found the front to be easy compared to the rear. The wheelwell pieces take a lot of trial fitting to trim and get nice ad smooth. Not impossible but time consuming to get right.

PS: Is there a similar car nearby that you can look at? That would be a big help.
