Automobile Carpet Installation Instructions:
How to remove, install and replace your automobile carpet
STOP! Read Entire Instruction Sheet Before Starting!
Do not cut the carpet until you are sure the auto carpet is correct for your Automobile!
| General Notes: |
|
Some late model Automobiles are equipped with a catalytic
converter shield on the floor. Do not remove the shield; install the auto carpet
over it. Your new Stock Interiors molded carpet has been produced slightly
oversize requiring some trimming for that perfect fit into your car. You
will need a good pair of scissors and a razor knife. Use extreme caution
when placing the screws through loop weave carpets, the loop tends to grip
the screw and will pull out in a continuous line of tuffs.
Note! Please take your TIME! Your Stock Interiors
auto carpet has been custom molded to fit your automobile. Plan to leave
enough time for the disassembly of your interior, removal of the old
auto carpet, proper installation of the carpet and reassembly of your
interior. Approximate time 3 Hours. |
| |
| Step 1- How to Remove the old auto carpet |
|
Remove your new Stock Interiors automobile carpet from the
box, unroll and lay the carpet in a warm area and allow it to settle for
one to two hours before attempting to install. (This will allow the
automobile carpet to regain its molded shape.)
Remove sill plates (metal strip holding Automobile carpet at threshold
of the door). Be sure to keep the screws.
Remove the front seats and seat tracks by removing the floor bolts in the
seat tracks. Be sure to check for and disconnect any electrical connections.
Remove rear seat cushions and center console if applicable.
Remove seat belt bolts if they are mounted in the carpet area.
It may be required to remove or loosen the kick panels and other moldings to
remove the old Automobile carpet.
Remove the old Automobile carpet, KEEP IT!
do not discard the old carpet yet.
|
| |
| Step 2- Preparation for installation |
|
Remove the old carpet padding, leave the body insulation
on the floor (do not remove the catalytic converter shield if the vehicle
has one on the floor)
Vacuum or sweep the floor, remove all loose matter
Place the old automobile carpet over your new Stock Interiors molded carpet.
Mark any holes or additional cutout on the carpet with chalk,
Do Not Cut the carpet Yet!
|
| |
| Step 3- How to Install new Auto Carpet |
|
Place your new Stock Interiors automobile carpet in the vehicle
by centering it on the transmission tunnel and working towards the sides.
(If yours is a 2-piece carpet, install the rear first)
Match the contours of the auto carpet with the floor; be sure the heel pad is
under the area for the gas pedal.
After confirming the proper fit, start the required cutouts as you fit the
carpet to the vehicle. Note, it is better to start with a small slit in the
carpet just large enough to fit over the object, then enlarge the opening
only as much as required. Do Not Over Cut!
After the correct fit is determined, fold back a section of carpet, apply
any needed adhesive, and press back down to the floor. (Tip:Using a common
automotive spray adhesive in spots will give a smoother fit, and less likely
to move over time.) Slip the automobile carpet under the kick panels,
door posts, and any valance if present, trim the excess that has been
provided to allow for a perfect fit into your automobile.
Replace back seat, kick panels, consoles, seat belts, front seats, and sill
plates (caution should be taken when reapplying any screws not to catch or
snag the carpet.)
