Hi Mark,

I have done 2 installations (Moss then a Heritage kit) and therefore am no 
expert.  I used the MOSS video on interior installation for my first go 
round.  It was very helpful but not totally original from what I saw.  I 
used Heritage feedback on my second installation as a guide.

1. Do the rear floor carpets under the front seats get cut around the
runners?  My rear seat carpet doesn't have cutouts for the runners,
but I'm assuming you cut the carpet around the seat runners, instead
of bolting the seat runners on top of the carpet.

I was told by Heritage to cut around the seat runners (which I did).

2. In the rear bulkhead area, does the center drip tray tube run
behind the carpet, or on top of the carpet?

Center one is covered by the carpet, side ones not.

3. In the rear seat area, is the vinyl and foam glued to the metal
surround?  Does it extend to the edge of the rear seat holes with the
foam seal around the edge?  It would seem the foam should be slightly
smaller than the vinyl area in order to get a better seal by gluing
the vinyl to the metal.

Yes, Glues to metal.  I did my foam to just past where the "seat" edge 
extends but not all the way to the hole.

3+. Was there carpet underlay between the transmission tunnel and the
carpet, or just the tunnel and the carpet snapped over?

Just the tunnel and the carpet snapped over it.
