    I always wondered if it could be fixed from underneath - if you had the dash out. That may save time depending on how you want to fix it.

    I can't wait to see how they look, they are nothing like Maverick floor pans . Plus they have those big holes for the seat mounts.

    Um, I think the Mustang pans have a deep pocket where the seats bolt in - our Mavericks don't have that deep pocket.
    Just something to look at when you get them and your seats out. You may have to add some spacers for the seat rails to si on.
