Need help
I was wondering if anybody has ever put down replacement carpet. I put down the underlayment and got my holes cut in it for the seat, seat belts, and dim to bright switch. I was wondering how you went about cutting those holes for the seat, seat belts, and dim to bright switch into the carpet. Any help would be great thanks guys.

Re: Need help
I used ACC carpet it had the dimmer switch hole reinforced and cut already. And the seat belts I simply removed them used a ice pick located the holes from under the cab making a hole to get the spot to reinstall the bolt into the belt. Same with seat bolts.

Re: Need help
Razor for big holes, soldering iron for small holes.

Re: Need help
A soldering pencil works great.

Re: Need help
There is an installation video on either ACC's or Stock Interior's (sells ACC) website that suggests using a hole saw IN REVERSE for the holes. I located where to put the holes with an ice pick as Sammy suggested above. Then I used the hole saw as in the video for the actual hole. It worked great. I believe I used a 3/4" hole saw (in reverse!). My carpet was ACC with the mass backing.
