RAT Carpet Installation

[Growley]

Has anyone been able to successfully install floor carpet into a RAT? I've tried multiple ways & I've restarted the game but I can't seem to get the "tick".

yes it clips in under the centre console if the centre console is in it wont go in

[Growley]

So, do seats need to be in or out?

seats can be in as far as i know

centre console screws in under the dashboard so might be easyer not having the dashboard in to install the carpet as you can have a full interior in and the only thing required to hold the carpet down is the centre console ive rebuild a couple as of now a few i sold on a few i kept around as i needed a few for testing for other players unfortunantly wasnt able to help them with their certain rats but hope this helps if your not certain which part it is buy one from the catalog then you know for certain

Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll try your suggestions shortly.

OK, I finally got it sorted.

I was building the RAT next to the junkyard. Turns out that using carpet purchased from a wreck is a bad idea. Unlike a metal part which has a visual indicator of that part's health (rust), the carpet looks the same whether it's brand new or wrecked.

As soon as I purchased a new carpet from the store it went in first try.

For the record the dash, pedals and rear seat were installed. The 2 front seats, the middle console and shifter were removed.

pleasure to help didnt have this issue on mine but on mine the carpet might have been fine as i had 1 car that almost had a complete interior in nice shape minus seats and centre console... but thats just more luck than anything else as everything around my car wasnt to bad but needed rebuilding and that car was number uno a white rat i6 turbodiesel with automatic 211k on the clock i love that thing customised it to my liking i like that on the rats no 2 are the same every rats different i love what people do with them aswell so i must say good call from the dev/devs i hope to see more parts "engines" in the future but time will tell
