those who have them do they go up high enuf to screw the vent handles thru them to help hold them on?

I got mine from LMC last summer- they go all the way to the bottom of the dash, so yes the vent pull brackets help hold them on

I got mine and am fitting them how did you make the transition to the carpet floor? (kickpanel on top carpet on top?

Also what did you do by dash bottom and front by door weather stripping? Just trying to get the best look any closeup pics would be nice.

were is easton mo at?

ok I see, I would spray those with 3M spray adhesive. They should be fine.

Easton is just east of Saint Joseph. I see you are by Fort Leonard- I was there once for a military grad (X's nephew). Mine fit best with carpet against instead of under. I just butted the seam up to the weatherstripping. Actually, I haven't glued mine yet. The top edge isn't seamed, and although it doesn't show much, I might take them to the upholstery guy to seam the top. I'll try to get you pics tommorrow night.

ya mine are not seamed on top either.
I think with the bracket holding on top I will use some velcro to hold it tight and not glue it.

st joseph is by KC right.
