 First:
MrMikes PT Leather rear seats have been altered
so the carpet is no longer sewn to the upholstery.

This way: You can change the Carpet Color.

Shown here - Electric Blue rear Carpet Panels.

When ordering new carpet, get an extra yard
of 'bulk' carpet to match, for the rear seat panels.
 

MrMikes  Carpet Install Tips:

 1.
Take the carpets out of the box,
and lay it in the sun to warm.

Press on the formed carpet
so it looks like the floor of your car.
(the box works well)

 
   2.
MrMike recommends putting it down on top of the original carpet. Do not remove the original carpet. Not only does the original carpet work as a great sound pad, it properly shapes the floor of the car.

In the PT the floor of the car is not smooth, and the floor at the rear of the console has a void that is bridged by the original carpet.  It is much easier to install the new over the old, and looks better when you are done.

MrMike recommends gluing the new carpet to the old in the pedals area for safety, use a spray contact cement type glue. It is not necessary to 100% glue the new to the old as the plastic trim holds it in place, or under the seat as once the seat is bolted back on top the new carpet will not move.
   3. 
The floor console is difficult to remove, it’s much easier to just putty knife the carpet under it than to remove the console.
   4. 
Where plastic trim pieces (like the side trunk panels) fit tightly to the carpet, pull back the original carpet and trim away an inch or so of the original padding underneath. This will make the original carpet lay a little lower so the plastic trim fits properly.
