So what I understand is, put in rear carpet. Bolt in seats. Put in front carpet and the back finished edge just lays on top of the front seat bolt downs.
Does the front edge go up under the firewall pad?
In the situation of the Al Knoch, could the carpet been trimmed in front where it hits firewall to move the rear edge forward?
Yes, the front edge goes up under the firewall pad. The carpet is moulded, so it perhaps could have been shifted slightly forward, but not enough to be in proper position. So trimming the front edge would not have helped enough. The rear edge really needed to be shorter with the edging re-sewn.
I do not rmember having this issue at all with my '67 carpet made by ACC. That was spot on.
I think Al Knoch is a bit behind the learning curve and won't admit it. Otherwise, color and fit were good.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
