    is it possible to remove the carpet (and reinstall new carpet) on the firewall without removing the fabric pieces on the ledge under the window.

    reading through previous posts, getting those fabric pieces out seems so difficult and fiddley (removing windows? groping around the engine bay?) like the kind of task that would make me delay putting in this new carpet set. :(

    One small nut/bolt attaches to the window ledge carpeting. It is accessed from the engine side of the firewall, in the centre. No need to remove glass.

    For my 79 GTS I had to remove the windows as it was not enough to just undo the central bolt.
    You could try to remove the carpet without touching the ledge and then see if you can tuck the new carpet back under the ledge before fixing it in place. If it fails you have to remove the ledge.

    82 gtsi? Glass removal is necessary to do a real good and neat job on that carpet.

    Good Morning Folks, Having recently acquired a 1988 328 I am wondering who sells the best carpet kit for the car. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
    Cheers,

    Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I'm envious of your garage & lift. :)

    Thank you, the lift has become a necessity for me as I've gotten to the point in life that I can't /won't work on a creeper anymore ;-) The garage is the reason we moved recently, that being said, I can't find anything now.... I know, definitely a first world problem.
