What the??? How did you get your carpet out with touching your dash??? My dash is practically hanging on my a harness and it was still a pain, lol. I see you don't have a floor shifter either.

BTW, it looks nice. :D

I didn't pull the dash either when I R&R'd the carpet on the Tbird.  It's a PITA to get it up under the center drop on the dash...but minimal drama.

theres were i got it- they sent it a little long so you have to trim it here and there.



i work at a dealer for a living and in my hourly days i used to do waterleaks alot- i got really good at taking interiors apart without taking everything out. to get it out just pull the hell out of it. to put it in i bunched it up infront of the center section and just kept pushing on both sides.
