He has really cleaned it up and made a sweet ride out of it. Like that one though, my old blue 68 also had the same seatbelt combination.

I new you sold that car tommy. It sure is a nice original 68...

Ok I tried installing my carpet today in the L79. The rear piece went great. But the front carpet piece that goes over the tunnel fits like crap. Anyone have any tips? I don't have a carpet steamer. Will a heat gun work. I was afraid of burning the carpet with the heat gun. I am actually thinking of ordering another carpet. This was a trim parts carpet which I thought was the preferred choice by everyone. I was so mad I had to walk away from it……

I used Auto Custom Carpet and I had the same trouble. I used the original style carpet sound deadener under mine. Seemed to help a bit? You almost have to cover it in plastic and put a couple of bricks on for awhile. In the foot wells that is. It takes a little bit for it to relax. Also getting the seatbelt bolts in place help too.

----Jason,,,This isnt the best time to put carpet in as its really good to sit the carpet outside in the sun. I dont really have an answer for you except that. I dont think I would use a heat gun. Sunlamp maybe???
----Secondly, I dont think Trim parts make thier own carpet anyway. They probaby source it from Auto Custom Carpet......Bill S

Thanks for the tips. I checked on the carpet last night I think I am going to be ok. I just needed to walk away. Sometimes when you come back to a problem it just goes so much better...

Windshield installed.... top window trim installed... lower trim is fighting me.(had to walk away) Lol!

Has anyone had any luck with the lower windshield trim outer clip. The set I bought aren't even close to my 1 original I have? Any tips? Am I missing something?

Performace years Pontiac has the right clips.

Jed are these the ones you used? (RFF44B)

They look different then the ones I bought, which are the ones from the link.

Jason, I have a used set if you need them.

[jasonL78]

I may need them.I will let you know. Those kind of look like the ones I have but have a notch on the top side. Is there a coating on them? After I posted I went back up to the garage and looked at another piece of trim with the original clip on it. I don't think I had the clip in far enough on the trim so the angle was off. So the clip wasn't lining up with the bolt. So know I have to bend that clip back because I tried every other option before walking away. I will try again tonight. I will figure it out.

Jason, These do have the ruberized coating on them, these are off a 69 Camaro.
