Re: [Chrysler300] drilling through carpet

[dan300f@xxxxxxx]

Hi all:
 
Well, I do sort of a combination of all the suggestions.  I cut an "X"  in 
the carpet and padding, push a tube through both of them and drill through  
the tube, thus, the drill does not come in contact with the carpet or  
padding.

Sounds like a great idea!

Here's how I do it. Long, long  time ago, I took a 4" piece of 1/4" 
stainless steel tubing and ground one end  to form a circular knife blade. I put 
the tube in my drill and use it to cut a  hole in the carpet where I need to 
drill. I also make sure I cut through the  padding as well. The hole in the 
carpet doesn't need to be the exact size of  the drilled hole, it just needs 
to be a hole so that the drill bit doesn't  snag the strands of carpet.

Try  this.....
Melt a hole through the carpet fabric with your solder gun  1st.
his will "sear" the strands melting them together on the ends so they  
don't 
avel up in your drill bit.
ust be sure to melt a big enough hole  is  all!
