I think all of us have made that mistake in the past. What I have found works best, is take a large strait handled awl and heat it with a torch or propane torch. Use the awl to burn through the carpet and into the hole , without unravelling the carpet... :thumbsup:
hahha yup.. that's exactly how i thought of doing it once i saw the carpet.... too late.. god i hate floor mats.. will find a nice small one to just cover behind the foot pad there :)
