Carpet Install Question

[garretthes]

This is for a 79 280zx

I can't figure out how the two notched pieces fit in the car. Which way to turn them, which side, where does the notch go and how does the front piece overlay the back.

Does the edge of the front piece stop at the brace that runs under the seat?

Also, how does the carpet fit around the foot rest on the drivers side kick panel?

It would be great to get a diagram or pictures.

Take some pictures of the kit laying on the ground by themselves. There shouldn't be two pieces in the foot well. Yours looks like it's split at the front seat rail mount - should go from under the pedals , over the front seat rail (where yours is split) back past the seat to where the body goes straight up towards the speakers. The third piece (first two are one on the drivers side and one on the passenger side) should be on the body that goes up from the floor behind the seat towards and over the speakers. Last piece should lay flat in the rear hatch area,

Here is an image of what the carpet looks like minus the small pieces on the side. The floor pieces are split front and back.

I figured it out last night. It goes in just like it's laid out in the photo. The notch is where the seat belt attaches. There is a big plastic piece that covers this spot.

The front four should be two pieces. The middle one is the only difficult molded piece in the kit but you can tape a flat piece in place to fit. The last piece is the rear deck. The smaller pieces to the side are for the strut towers.
