Need help on 4-spd console carpet install..

[A34]

Hey Guys,

I have a carpet kit for my 4-spd console and want to install it. Whatever glue Chrysler used on 07/07/69 (per sticker on sideboard) to glue the carpet on the existing 4-spd hump section, it was GOOD STUFF !!

How do I get it off without destroying the sideboard? Umm, and then, what is the best glue to use to install?

The carpet is missing from the rear of the console, and the pieces I got look way too big. Anyone got a template to reference to trim it down?

Thanks !!

You might be able to soak it in rubbing alcohol to try and soften up the glue they used.  Worse comes to worse, if you do damage the original fiber board type material, they repro them in plastic now.

You might want to test the rubbing alcohol on a small portion of your fibreboard just to be safe.
Might I also recommend a heatgun.
The plastic is great for those of us that would like to add a 4, 5 or 6 speed - but yours is original
for now.  I hope you can preserve that part!!!
