My question is if there is a trick to running holes through the carpet for screws and bolts?
There are seats, belts, gas pedal, and shift boot holes to deal with. The last time I tried to drill through a carpet I hooked a thread and caused a run across the carpet in no time.

Thanks, Scottie

Put all of the screws and bolts in place before laying the carpet. Once you have the carpet in place use a razor blade to cut over each bolt and screw. It's much easier to find the bolt sticking up than the holes.
