Installing carpet, bought factory repo underlayment from OPGI and I got 3 pieces.  Of course, there is no diagram/directions as to where each one goes.  I found a home for two of the pieces, but have one leftover and none of the holes (of the underlayment) line up with anything on the floor pan.  The second pic is of the last piece I can't find a home for.

Any ideas?

Possibly, but there should be something under the back seat cushion. I removed some old underlayment from there.  That third piece has cut outs for where it looks like the front seat would mount, but the cut outs aren't wide enough and the cut outs don't line up with where the seats bolt down.  I could cut it up and use it where I want to I suppose.......

Seems like repro parts never are exact. They could have put a sheet in there as a diagram.
Looks like a trunk piece to me.
Beautiful steering wheel too!

Good luck

Check with OPGI, they may have a diagram or a tech that can tell you, or the manufactured number to call them and see.

I had a similar problem with weather seals and didn't come with any info on installation, but when I called them they were able to give me info needed.

Looking forward to your next video.
