This is a very satisfying job. The carpets feel great to the touch, and with a few careful sprays of Ever Build Stick 2, the rear bulkhead and tunnel sidewall carpets were easily fitted.
It's quite easy to overspray and make a mess, which isn't easy to clean up, but plenty of masking tape and the yards of bubble wrap lying around are useful! If you do find you've oversprayed, WF40 gently rubbed from a paper towel seems to remove it quite well. But be careful of the WD40 overspray too!
The tunnel top, which feels beautiful by the way, is a bit of a pig to get in. The Assembly Guide tells you to get the handbrake vertical, but that's impossible, without unbolting it. Instead, I removed the heater baffle, which gives you just enough room. I did the following:
1. remove internal heater baffle/plate
2. slide tunnel cover over handbrake in its highest position, at a slight diagonal to where it should end up
3. manipulate the forward end of the tunnel around the wiring loom as it enters the large grommet on the tunnel
4. carefully prise open the tunnel cover where needed to let it slide down the carpets on each side of the tunnel
