A couple of months back I ordered a new carpet set from Tony. This will be the third set installed in my 49 year history with this car. The last set around 20 years ago went in easily, I am struggling with this set. Is it possible Tony's patterns have grown? There are areas with no binding where it is easy to trim to size, but some areas where there is trim it is either too large or too small. Any observations or tips?

Yes the original sound deadening is still in place.
At the rear package shelf I have an additional 1/8 inch foam I added, but the rest is as it was.Last edited by flatsixer; 08-16-2022, 08:13 PM.

in the first 2 pictures. it looks like you need to stretch the rug length wise.
you will need to paint the seat pedestal semi-gloss black because the rug placement, stock, showed the pedestal that you are now partially covering.
the rear seats look like a legitimated problem.
i would suggest trying to move the rug higher at the outer sides and cheat the middle a little higher. ( unlikely this will solve it)

Contact Tony and send him a few pics, he's always been able to handle any issues I've ever had.
I don't think he's a member here yet, I'll let him know about this forum when I talk to him tomorrow.

Finally got everything fitted, still some more to do. Talked to Tony gave me some pointers, he said it shrinks a bit over time. (thanks Longballa for sending him the pics.
Another question, what are the two brackets in back of the seats for? Should there be screws to hold the carpet there? only inboard.
I am glad I ordered these from Tony as there were two pieces missing from the kit, he said he would send them off. Great customer service.
I received the box a few months back but had not opened it as I was not planning to install. It would have been hard to claim from some of the other suppliers, that is why it is good to support our favorite sources.
Good idea to check shipments when they arrive, but I am not in town all the time.
