put new cargo flr in

i dont have pics, so this might just being me venting. i put a new to me floor in cargo area because my flr had a couple spots and was wrinkled. the new one is alot nicer not perfect but nice. what a pain in the but between the metal rod that acts like a spring to keep the seat up and the bolts that hold the hinges i was ready to burn the car down. the hinges that bolt to a metal plate that can not easily be replaced wound up getting stripped so i had to place nuts behind the plate so i could get the hinges to stay in place. it wound up taking me 2 days to get what i thought would be a 2 hour project. is this always a pain or was it just my car?

I had the entire back out once and I recall a lot of messing around/adjusting of hinges on gunner seat to get it right. It is an uncommon R&R so mistakes can happen.
