The snaps I have only have one button in the middle to mushroom down with a
mandril and hammer..another tip for a nice carpet installation:  when you
get the kit the bellhousing hump piece is stitched to the drive shaft
tunnel piece, I have found that with that contour the carpet doesn't lay as
flat as it might so I suggest cutting the stitching leaving the  binding on
the bellhousing piece and then putting the driveshaft tunnel piece under
that bellhousing piece, there should be enough material and you might want
to apply a little glue to the tunnel piece to hold it in place until it
really settles in place.
