For carpet holes, I tried a trick I had read about a while back that worked awesome. I took an awl, heated it up with a torch, and passed it through the middle of the hole from underneath the cab through the carpet. Then I took an old socket, with whatever size hole I was trying to make, and heated it up and burned a hole in the carpet from above, centered on the awl. This made perfect holes in the exact right location, right through the carpet and the heavy backing material.
