I just got my carpet in from 50resto. I have a 95 GT.
For those of you that have already done this, do you have any tips or things I should watch out for? I hope to tear out the old stuff and reinstall the new this weekend.
I am wondering if I need to purchase some sort of adhesive for the carpet? Any recommendations on what will work good?

Thanks

 

sry but i also need to know this because i am about to install new carpet in my 89 vert

 

no glue needed. take you time and work out the wrinkles, i ran into a problem over by the accel pedal. if you have a console in your car, you can use the area that it covers to make "adjustments" that wont be seen. good luck.

 

+1^ ive never replaced it but ive had it out before and its not hard. you need no glue. please dont glue it. youll never get it out again if you do.

 

not to steal the thread but.. so all you do it lay the carpet down and install all the kick panels and etc? and all taht will hold it down? i dont get it.. does the carpet some with adhesive becaus ei stripped my car down to the bare metal.

 

the carpat is like a moulding. it just fits in. the egdes are loose so you can do whatever to them, but it slides under everything and the kicks, consloe, belt buckles, etc will hold it. please dont glue it. youll regret that.

 

Thanks for the tips, no glue then!

 

If you have some time you shoud install insulation. It make a hell of a difference in heat and sound deadening. You can get it on ebay look for "lobucord" I bought some off him and it works great.

 

About how long does it take to take old carpet out and install new? I hadhalf day of school today and thinking about doing it now. (6 hours)

 

Mine came out in about an hour. i undercoated everything while i was at it. Still have to install though
