Shifter boot and carpet

[elliskev2]

Hello to ALL,
I am getting ready to cut in my carpet and was wondering if the rubber shifter boot should be fastened to the floor before the carpet and then the chrome ring. I have been searching and haven't found a discussion on it.

Thanks

Thank you Sir... I figured it should seal to the floor.

I assume you know to NOT run a drill bit thru your carpet? It will pull long threads and ruin the carpet. Kind of like a run in lady's pantyhose. (Don't ask me how I found this out.....)

Yeah, I was going to jump right in to installing it, then the logic and common sense kicked in...woah hold the pony's.
Thanks for the reply.

A good, safe way to make a hole in the carpet without any runners is to use a hot, soldering pencil tip.
Nice and kleen..
Just my $0.02....

Yes, that is a great idea. I used the soldering iron for all the cuts and holes. Thanks
