Joe,
I'd say its mostly tolerances and clearances (for my body).
On the tolerance side, you'll have to measure carefully, and then drill
a couple of the holes and begintightening the cover down. As you tighten
the cover down, the plastic deforms, well you get the drift, probably
four (six?) hours for me.
I mentioned clearance because though the plastic is relatively easy
to work with, leverage to reach around the cover in the footwell was
nearly non-existent.
The cover itself isn't too bad to work with, I actually prefered the plastic
to the fiberglass on the rear tunnel cover I installed.

Everyone,
I roughly followed the conversation on installing a plastic tunnel cover.
JIST of the conversation is that this is hard to do.
MY QUESTION - this seems like it would be a no brainer. What exactly is the
difficulty in doing this, is it that the tolerances on the new cover are so
sloppy as to make installation difficult, or is it that installation itself,
even of an old cardboard one is difficult.
THANKS,
JoeSimcoe
