    1965 Carpet

    I am ready to attempt to install the carpeting in my 65 conv. with an Al Knoch carpet set. Is there a good detailed set of instructions anywhere that I might get to help me with this project? I am a first timer at this and want to do it right. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

      Art,

      The carpet is black and I actually bought it at the 1995 Homecoming at Bowling Green, KY. Thanks.

        Dave,

        On the seats, remove the seat brackets from the bottom the seats and use them as a template for cutting the bolt hole locations for the seats. Also, be careful of how much you cut around the center console area. That is where I had a slight overcut when I did mine. Use a heat gun to warm the carpet up to make it lay flatter. Measure 10 times, cut once!! Good luck.

          Thoroughly clean & dry...

          the bottom of the carpet to remove any residual plasticizer that'll prevent glue/adhesive from sticking the carpet to the underlying jute. Also, laying the carpet flat and letting the sun 'cook' the wrinkles from pack out of it helps too...
