I'm in the process now. I would sit aside 4 or 5 hours, maybe more if you need cleaning underneath.
My carpet didn't fit exactly as I wanted, had to trim some places and folds.

when installing the new carpet which goes in first. The rear section then the front lays over the rear under the front seats.
I thought this was right just wondering. Also is gluing the carpet down a good idea as in a post above his carpet slide around.
I'm at the point of installing the carpet. I just removed all the seats except drivers, had to still move car. Removed seat belts
and installed the new shifter boot after reseaming all the seams. I dry fit the underlayment and it looks good I was just
wondering about the 2 points listed above.

Thanks,
Slyder

well, when i pulled mine out, it came out back first than front section. lay the front section in and that fit the back over it. reinstall the mouldings and deats and it should sit fine without sliding around too much. basically the front won't go anywhere cause of the door mouldings and seats bolt thru the front section (and i believe the front facing end of the rear section).
