First we set the carpet out in the sun to relax for a couple hours. Then we put it in the car to see how it needed to be trimmed, and to make it more comfortable to kneel inside the car to finish the other projects.

Since we're not sure what we want to do for tunes, if anything, we made a simple block-off plate to close up the hole. It's a cardboard cutout with a piece of vinyl attached with spray adhesive. We used a touch of Gorilla Tape to stick it to the back of the dash. We also used the same covering method for the rear package tray. The 97-degree temperature helped relax the fabric.
