Default 85 Corvette carpet Install help!

Help! I need help figuring out how to remove and installing the dash carpet on my 85 vette. Are there some tricks I don't know to easily remove and install the carpet?

Thanks
Richard

Here is an instructional link for changing the entire carpet in a C4.
Maybe it can help you.

When I re-did the carpet in my previous 85, I had a tough time too witht the dash carpet. It was tearing up the foam underneath when I tried to remove the old stuff, so I simply applied the new carpet over the old... It turned out great and I had not problems...
Good luck...
