Pro Tech Tips for Installation

1. Surface Preparation is Key: Before beginning the installation, ensure your metal floor pans are stripped of all old adhesive, dirt, and loose rust. For the best results and a quieter ride, consider applying a thin layer of sound-dampening material or a rust-inhibiting primer before laying the new carpet down.

2. The "Dry Fit" Method: Never apply adhesive to the carpet pieces immediately. Lay all nine pieces into the vehicle first to verify the layout and alignment. While these kits are pre-cut and sewn for a precise fit, a "dry fit" allows you to see exactly where the pieces overlap and identify if any minor trimming is needed around the heater vents or seat tracks.

3. Use Automotive Grade Adhesive: To prevent the carpet from shifting or peeling over time, use a high-quality, high-temperature spray adhesive. Apply the glue to both the floor pan and the back of the carpet, waiting for it to become tacky before pressing the two surfaces together. Always work from the center of the piece outward to the edges to eliminate air bubbles and ensure the carpet follows the contours of the floor perfectly.
