Default carpet behind the seat

I was going to do the carpet on my car soon and was wondering how it is supposed to look when I'm done. When I got the car the carpet was all but ripped completely out.

What I dont get is the back wall, does it just glue right on to the fiberglass? And in the back corners, I have big gaping holes? How do I cover those?

Pics would be helpfull, its hard to do a job right when you dont know what right is. I did a search and the only pics of the back corners I could find had speakers in them. Is mine supposed to have speakers?

Default Re: carpet behind the seat (77Dream)

Take a look here. http://home.attbi.com/~jchadwick/interior.htm

The back wall has three large plastic screws that I got at the dealer. As I recall the deck carpet goes up, the screws go through the carpet and into holes in the back wall and then covers the holes with wings on each side of the carpet. In fact, in one of the pictures you can see the black screws in the carpet and the wings going back into the corners.

No speakers in the back in a 77.
