You shouldn't have to get into that many times. However, you will get in and out of your truck a lot. I'm not sure that I wouldn't really want to look at a big black rubber plug in the middle of my carpeted floorboard. Just something to think about. Maybe somebody else will have a different piece of advice, that you like better.

The previous owner cut the opening for the master cylinder. Carpet on the floor, exposed grommet, no carpet on top of the grommet. | | |
