    X2 on cutting an access hole for your fuel pump before sealing things up. Your fuel pump will fail eventually and this makes replacement a 30 min job.
    There's no 'I' in denial.

    Completed this and thought I'd post it...

    This is the product that I used. IT IS SOFT! If you want something that can take abuse this is not the product for you. I mainly wanted to protect the carpet since no one, like WeatherTec, makes a rear liner. It is long enough to extend to the back of the front seats if you remove the rear seat. I found it at Sport Authority in the area with large exercise equipment for about $35. No, it did not come with the workout partner...



    I cleaned the carpet and let it dry



    Removed all of the holders. I turned the child seat hooks over and put back in place so not to lose them. I cut the mat 44" long and 40 1/4" wide. This will put you starting at the rear seat mounts. Starting at the top I made sure it was in place and put the first two holders in place.



    Working my way down from front to back I attached the holders and seat belts back in place. I simply cut a slit for the seat attachment. If I did it again I'd do the same for the seat belts instead of removing the big bracket they are attached to.





    I'm please with the results and think that this will meet my needs of protecting the carpet and should help some with road noise but I already have DynaMat on the floor. I have enough product left over to do it again if it needs to be replaced since I only went from the back seat mounts.
