Re: What did you do to your Blazer/Jimmy today?
Carpets came in finally. I know it`s not rocket science to install them, but here`s a few tips I've learned over the years to make an easy install.
I lay the carpet in and let it sit for a day so it can flatten out, then locate all the places that need holes and push nails in their location. If you get one wrong, it`s easy to move without damaging the carpet. Once all the nails are in their location, I put the holes in using a soldering iron. Not only does this give you a nice round hole, but it also prevents any loose fibers which may get caught in the bolt threads when putting the seats in. I`m sure we have all done this where one thread gets wrapped around the bolt and tears a line about 6 inches long into the new carpet.
