You have to make a series of cuts and hope it butts together. It also doesn’t fit the tunnel very well, but in my case, with a 4-synchro conversion, the tunnel top was the wrong shape anyway. I padded it out with foam and board to make a plausible profile. In order to preserve access to the top cover, the tunnel carpet is not glued down — it is pinned by the speaker console and shifter boot bezel, and snapped around the base where it tucks under the floor carpet.<div><br></div><div><div>
