I'm getting ready to put my new carpet in. How far up the front passenger side does the carpet go...i.e. up under the firewall insulation (if so how much?) or actually over the insulation? I think it's under, but just want to be sure.

Hi Jerry,

It goes under the insulation and the front right corner of the heel pad should be up tight to the corner of the floor pan/tunnel.

If you line up the rear edge of the carpet dead center of the Fisher body plate on the sill plate it puts it right where it belongs.

what is a sill plate? and where is it exactly? I have to install carpet also, and i'm a rookie at all of this, lol
thanks

Sill plates are these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1855792957). They go inside and run the length of the door. Some people call them scuff plates...
