When I bought my 67 mustang convertible, the gentlemen who I bought it from gave me a great idea, he said use an old screwdriver and heat it up then once you find your mounting points push it threw and it will seal the carpet as it makes a hole preventing the carpet from separating due to being cut. On the larger holes run it along the cuts to also seal the carpet and prevent fraying. Great video!
I use a soldering iron to melt out the holes for the bolts and seat mounting....it smells a bit but it does a PERFECT job of opening up the holes....and it seals the carpet because its melted all the loose carpet strands...try it....you will like it......................

Using an awl or a pick is good advice. However, after fitment of the carpet, I suggest using a soldering iron or a wood burning tool to make the holes. Not melting/serging the carpet. Not doing this often causes a run/pull of one line of carpet which ruins the carpet and the reason you installed it to begin with.
Just an fyi to people that are nervous and have never done anything remotely close to this type of work, do not take this advice of cutting right off the bat.. if you’ve done this type of work and feel comfortable then have at it like homeboy is doing. But that measure 2x before cutting is good practice but for me a lil advice; I’ll measure 3-4x and always mark what it is I’m going to have to cut.. that’s why they sale chalk for carpet cutting.. I won’t right off jump ,start to cut unless I’ve measured then draw my lines out and measure again that my lines are straight.A lot of people I know have wasted the money they spent on that new carpet by thinking there measurements were right , then cutting all crooked not to mention cutting in wrong location lol .
Steven Pollard at 4:37 he says to vacuum under the carpet and decide wether you wanna use the old underlayment or use a new one. Is that what you are referring to? I would prefer to get a new one depending if the rust is bad.
I bought this carpet for my '65. It does NOT fit as well as it shows in this video. There's a large space between the carpet and the center hump. The hump could be 3 inches higher and it might fit. Trying to figure out how to make it work.
Can you send me a few pictures? We use the mass back on nearly all of our restoration work and have never had any real fitment issues. bill at cjponyparts dot com

Looks great
I have a problem with the front part of the carpet not staying flush to the floor. Should I use some type of adhesive?
Hi Bill,
I have a 67' coupe. Is there a screw that needs to be loosened for the rear seat?
For automatic shift bezel: does any of the carpet go under the bezel, or is carpet cut clear of the bezel?
Did you ever find an answer for this question? Having the same thoughts right now.

What about the rust under it on the floor should you grind it down and coat it ? I seen rust on your floor?
