Thanks for the recording. I've got carpet ordered for my 69. I've never done a carpet install. Learning experience...

It’s not too bad. The front is a lot easier, they just plop right in and cut around the bolt holes for the seat and that’s about it. Good luck 👍🏻

The brackets are for a fold down lid where your removable rear windsceen glass goes When you have the tops off and your rear glass comes off as well There are 2 latches on the top inside of your rear glass to release the glass out

Thank You for making this video I had no idea where to start. I have a 1975 Convertible and it was missing all of the interior when I got it.

I went through the same ordeal, the car was a bare shell when I got it. Pretty much approached all these projects with the “wing it” method. Happy to hear this video helped you out. 👍🏻

I believe the brackets are for the tray that stores the rear window when you take it out.

Hmmm, didn’t even know they had that. I’ve had 9 or 10 C3’s not a single one has ever had that tray. Thanx! I’ll have to look into it.

This is correct. There’s a tray for the glass when it’s removed from the window hole.

Great video, just did mine and that light is a SOB...even though i had old carpet. One thing i would ad is to precut useing old carpet as template and use some masking tape to mark holes like for the rubber plugs and light screws locations.

Thank you! Absolutely, great piece of advice for anyone doing this project. Unfortunately I didn’t have any carpet to use as a template which made it a real bugger to install.

It’s actually recommended to not glue the carpet in C3s, the carpet was not glued from factory, I can see having to do it over the wheel wells, but the carpet will relax and form where it’s put after a couple weeks

Looks great. Perhaps spray paint the inside of the storage boxes before laying your last layer of carpet

@thedrivewayC3 better late than never 😀. It’s definitely a “wing it” kinda job, just get in there and hope for the best. Don’t forget to embrace your inner contortionist, it’s a tight squeeze. 👍🏻

Just yesterday we did the back half of a 71 Corvette. By far the worst for us was the wheel wells. Unless you're putting relief cuts in you're going to have lumps and bumps.

Thanks for vid. If I used dynomat, will I need additional carpet underlay? Or does the carpet come with the needed padding?
@ratfarm767
Жыл бұрын
You can buy it both ways, the carpet I purchased was just carpet with typical backing and I needed the padding but the more expensive carpet kits will have a rubber backing.

I removed the drain tubes and plugged them off for now, I need to order new tubes and drain vents. But when I do I’ll probably use a small razor like an Exacto knife to cut around them.
