i recently bought some carpet from jimiroc(somethin like that) and it came with the mass backing, almost like a rubber coating on the back, and its all stiff and i need to get it in the car tonight, would warming it up help? mayb an iron? any insight would be great
thanks

 

If you need it in tonight you have a dilema, maybe stuffing it in your dryer and giving it a few minutes would do the trick. I always layed it out in the sun for a few hours to loosen it up.

 

i didn't need it more of a WANt, but i need it in for school (on wed) so ya, but after about in hour we got it worked in there, gonna let it sit over night and let it sit tomorrow hopefully have it in tomorrow...

 

well i got most of it in, one side is mostly done, just need to finish up the other side, put the seats in, and the console....i wanted to take pics but the cam is dead and charger is somewhere...

 

well i got all the plastics and sail plates and front belts in, but putting the console back in is a bitch...any suggestions?

got it...

 

I usually remove the radio pod before I mess with removing or installing the console on a bird

Less swearing in the end

 

oh there was ALOT of swearing today...i need anger management

but i got mostly everything in, so i wont be driving the geo to school tomorow!

 

Ive driven alot of places with ONLY a drivers seat and no interior

 

well ya but i didn't want it looking all stripped for school...haha but hey its good now but bolting those back seat cushions are a pain...i just gave up and just placed them in..any tips for that?

 

Do you mean the back bottom part or the back top part?

The bottom part on my car was extremely easy, I just put it in place and put that one bolt through and tightened it.

If it is the top piece it is way easier to put in with the brackets attached to the seat and put that bolt in from the bottom. I am not good at explaing things, there is a torx bolt and a 10mm bolt. It is easier to have the bracket attached to the seat with the torx bolt and when actualy putting the seat in the car tighten the 10mm bolt.

Of course the firebird interior could be different, I dont know.

 

ya both are a pain for me atleast, the bracket is still attached but its kinda bent...

 

The backrests should bolt right in. If the bracket is bent, you should be able to tweak it a bit with a large pair of pliers. For the bottoms, they can be tough to get the bolt lined up properly. I usually use an awl to locate and center the hole through the carpet before attempting to insert the bolt.
