errrrrr...... I got hella tricks for carpet. It's early in the morning so I'll try to remember them all...
work from center out,

lay in the sun ( already said ),

if your gonna glue, ( heat the center then lay it like your pealing a plastic film.

use a awl to poke your holes from the bottom up,

with the carpet out I use a spot welding drill bit to remove a little material from the sound dentoner,

carpet all layed out in the car, use awl to poke hole from the bottom up then use a old sodering iron or a cheap one. follow the awl back down to the hole. it will melt the carpet and make a very nice hole for your bolt.

DO NOT DRILL CARPET. it will snag and put a run in it.

thats it for right now. I really need some coffee..

sorry if its jibberish.
