Rear Carpet Install Help
I have been working on restoring the interior on my 77 for a number of months. This weekend I was finally ready to start putting everything back in and started tackling the rear carpet. I installed the passengers side fender well carpet with no issues. I was able to match up the old carpet and locate the holes and it looks great.
I moved on to the drivers side and can not find the old carpet @#$%^. The passengers side has the wiring going to the back. I dont recall that being on the outside of the carpet, but it is difficult to figure out how to make the carpet go over the wire harness and look decent. I got the AIM out and sure enough they only show the passengers side install which was much easier.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
I am wondering if even from the factory it look a little sloppy, becasuse I don't see how you can go over the wiring harness and still look nice.

So it is supposed to go over the wire harness? I thought that, but was having trouble figuring out how to trim the front to get it to fit. I assume you still have a bulge where the wiring harness is and a bulge where the carpet goes over the wiring harness exiting out the back. The passanger side tucked in nice, not sure how to trim the other side.
