We had a couple of days above 60* so I installed mine. Went better than I expected and looks really good. Thanks for the heat gun tip.
I was thinking to get floor mats from them. Did you? Their products seem to be good quality.

So I should clear up, in the end, the grommet (two actually, in separate envelopes) DID show up. Install took about 5 minutes, just clean up the hole and finesse it through. I'm happy with the result.
I am aware this is true, but I do want better than stock for my build, and the item was promised in description online.

I went with black. Pictures on my build thread entitled "spirit build". Wasn't too bad just take your time. In mine there is a little quirkiness in the center but it doesn't bug me

Just curious on the colour of both kits. Both of you guys seem pretty competent on laying it down.
Well done.

Our AMC cars never used a headlight dimmer switch grommet in the carpet opening. Just a simple hole in the carpet.

Headliner kit showed up finally. Install went well, looks good. High beam grommet is still nowhere to be seen. I've pretty much given up on that, it isn't that big a deal really

I put my garage heat up to 27C (summer day here) and let the carpet relax in the car for a few days. Then I pulled it back out, cleaned the door and laid the underlay pad. Then I lifted it one side at a time and used spray adhesive to hold the padding down. Cut the holes for the seat bolts and seat belts. Then I laid the carpet back in and slowly trimmed the front while pushing ahead until it was in position. No adhesive on the carpet

I'm installing mine today. Finally can get my shop warm enough to feel comfortable I can get it in the correct position to cut it.
I didn't have to contact the company after my original order. Everything I ordered came and was on time. Did you use an adhesive? I'm not planning on it. I've been hesitant on doing the installation because I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up. I'm ready to install the rest of the interior and this is the next step. Wish me luck! |

Got the carpet installed this past weekend. Looks good.
I finally was able to call stockinteriors.com about my order, and got a nice lady right away and wasn't on hold long. She told me she would have her manager mail out the grommet and she offered to call back after she got an answer on the headliner kit. I opted for an email response. That was Thursday, now Tuesday I email after getting no further response. I figured maybe she had an answer but my .CA email address threw her off (this happens often). Got a reply fairly quick, again was told the grommet will be sent out right away and she will reply soon with an answer on the headliner kit
