MrJlr... send me an email to Support@Willcoxcorvette.com with a phone I can contact you at. I'm not at my office right now but when I do, I'll give you a ring. I can tell you how to get this in easier than I can type it out.

I had to have every screw very loose in the parking brake console, shifter console, shifter console plate and gauge cluster and spent a lot of frustrating time before it all lined up.

Carpet extends a couple of inches behind the sides. Its pretty stiff so could be a challenge to get enough flex to tuck. I installed my carpet first snd positioned in the kick panel and door sills first, then the console so I could cut excessive material away and it would still be covered by the sides of the console.
