TR3A Carpet Installation Question

Hello everyone - I'm new to this forum. I own a 1959 TR3A that is in very nice shape (especially considering the car was restored in 1995). I just purchased new carpet to replace carpet that has faded from the sun throughout the years. The carpet is still in excellent shape - just somewhat faded. My question is - do I need a special tool to install the snaps on the new carpet - and if not - how do I install the snaps?

Thanks for any assistance.
 
Welcome Skidude!

I have fond memories of my former 59 TR3A - really enjoyed it driving the many two-lane blacktops we have twisting around New England.

I can't help on the snaps tool. It depends on the carpeting you got, and the type of snaps. Maybe start a new thread over in the Triumph forum here, with some photos to guide our suggestions. Didn't the new carpeting come with some instructions on snap installation?

Skidude, welcome to the BCF! You've come to the right place. Well, technically you've come to the right forum for saying hello, but the forum you want for specific questions such as the one you pose would be the Triumph Forum within the BCF.

Good luck and enjoy your TR!
