Yes, just unbolt it and tuck it under. Check out the free carpet thread.

Can I just install it over the flange around the inside of the body? Mine is not only bolted but sealed with silicone. Also I gues I should call you to find out how I go about measuring for a kit.

You, can mount it over the flange but it will have to be finished off. They will fit any buggy shortened 14 1/4" or full length. If you need any further help please give me a call as I do not want to use this forum as a sales tool.

Definitely get the Tijuana Customs kit. It is wonderful. I just had to lift the body enough to tuck it under the edge. I suppose you could trim it back and not lift the body at all if you wanted. My full install with photos is here if you wanted to check it out

With a Manxter, you can install without unbolting/lifting the body. I just trimmed and tucked the carpet under the body flange. Excellent fit! Olli
