Pro Tech Tips

Clean the Substrate: Before applying any adhesive, ensure the metal trunk floor is completely free of old glue, oil, and rust. Use a wax and grease remover to prep the surface so the new carpet bonds securely and lies flat.

Perform a Dry Fit: Always lay the carpet into the trunk area without glue first. This allows you to align the edges and ensure the cutouts for the fuel tank or wiring are positioned correctly before the adhesive makes the placement permanent.

Use High-Temp Spray Adhesive: For the best results, use a high-quality automotive contact cement or spray adhesive designed for high-temperature environments. This prevents the carpet from peeling or bubbling when the trunk area heats up during the summer months.
