Carpet install question?
So those of you who have replaced carpet, how did you tackle the wheel wells? I am having the hardest time trying to get the new carpet to "form" to the wells without it popping up in places. Should I glue as I go along?

I think it depends a lot on where you buy the carpet set. I got mine from ACC in Alabama and they worked out really well on my 79 l48. But I did let the rear section out in the summers sun for about three hours before I installed them. The plastic base jacket is a little stiff if you don't use the sun or a heat gun. Also, DO NOT cut anything till you positive it's going to be in the way ie: the seat tracks hold down bolts, ect.
