Carpet install questions

Thanks. I have not thought of that but will keep it in mind.

True true. Ya know I've kept most all the fasteners from the junkers. Is it easy enough to add them to my existing carpets or am I asking for trouble? I think the "male" portions are still in the car so I'd really only need to figure out the female part.

Vince - if you are not in any hurry, I have an extra set of install snaps you can have. Includes the male snaps, female snaps and the black rings that secure them from the top side of the carpet. PM me your snail mail address. I'm typing from Asia, so it will be at least 2 weeks until I can send them off.

Vping, You might already have this in mind but to mark the spot where the upper snap goes, I lay the carpet in place, hold it so it doesn't slide, lift the area over the male snap and wipe magic marker ink on the top of it, lay the carpet down and press on it. It will transfer a perfect mark where the upper snap should go and no guessing.

I had a similar trick, but from above with a tiny awl. Push down on the carpet until it's centered over the snap, stuff the awl into the center of the snap and install. I like the marker idea better :smile:
