If the carpet set was purchased before 05-2017 then I can understand the OP's complaint about the rear carpets, but the current production carpets seem to fit like a glove since we got ACC to fix the rear humps and T sections.

My carpet was purchased 1-10-17. So I must have a bogus one then. Now that it's installed I'm stuck with it. Wish I could get another set at no charge from ACC...they owe it to me for the time, sweat and frustration I went through.
If the carpet set was purchased before 05-2017 then I can understand the OP's complaint about the rear carpets, but the current production carpets seem to fit like a glove since we got ACC to fix the rear humps and T sections. But even on the 69 shown below, they still sent us the wrong T section with this carpet and we had to swap it out. The keys to installing the rear hump is to either have an original to mark the cuts with, and to never install deadener and a hump with jute glued to it. You can't have both on there or they will fit badly.
The carpet shown below was installed last week in my shop by Kevin, and there were no issues with it what so ever.. However, always keep this in mind, he does these installations quite often and is very skilled at his job.

Before May, 2017 there were fitment issues? Interesting.
I replaced mine some time ago, no issues on the front except for trying to locate the bolt holes but the back did not want to fit correctly on my '69 convertible.

The date I posted above was a typo. It should have read 05-2015 not 05-2017, I'm sorry for the error. This was the last post in my thread on the changes and we were already working with them on this project prior to that date (01-2015).
guys you are complaining about some minor trim to fit.
cut once measure twice , it is much easier if you use original as pattern.
rough cut about 2 inches around that, then final trim as you install.
now if you do not have enough material and it is short, that would be a real problem.
I just finished installing a cut-pile ACC carpet set in my 1977. its a bit tricky and sometimes a pain if youve never done it. once you do the one side the others easier, use the old ones for slits and cuts and the seat belt holders are the hardest bolts to remove i just cut around them, you can't see it...My only beef with ACC is that in todays age you would think they would have stickers on the pieces and an online install video guiding you through it...
