Or the right size punch with a lead weight behind it when you use a hammer. Also leave bolts screws etc… in carpet and headlining when fitting carpet or headliner. Use tips of fingers to feel for screws and make a small snip on head of screw to expose and remove to install visors etc… Use chalk on carpet to mark location for where hole is to be cut, burned or whatever to make hiole.

I love these kinds of tips. Keep them coming!
