First thought on the carpet, call Doug Pollock, the owner of
SMS, and speak to him personally. If it's not right you shouldn't have
to deal with it.
Second first thought, is it possible that you have too much
padding under the carpet on the transmission hump? A little extra there
will make a big difference on the fit.

Thanks John, Roger and Richard
for your help! From pictures and dimensions John sent to me, I made a
tool out of a plastic putty knife to remove the door handles. It was
still challenging, but I was able to get them all removed so that I can have
the fabric replaced on the door panels.
I got the fabric and carpet from
SMS Auto Fabrics in Oregon. The fabric was very
expensive and some was soiled (the upholsterer was able to get the stains
out) but the front carpet set didn?t fit well at all. It is too short
on the sides up against the kick panels (about ¾? on each side). Does
anyone have any suggestions for filling this
gap?
Thanks again for all of your
help!
Regards,
Eric
