Having been in the two way radio business for many years, I know just what it's like to try and drill thru a carpet especially the packing and breaking lots of bits. I use a very sharp tappered punch to make the hole thru the floor and then have no problem getting my self tapping screws attached to the floor. Just my 2 cents worth.

For automotive carpet, I either cut the hole with a knife or use a soldering iron with a cutting tip or just an old tip to melt through and leave a nice edge that won't fray. > > Ryan Hill > > > > > [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Chrysler300/join and select the "Leave Group" button For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylangYahoo!
