TRIM PARTS MOLDED CARPETS
Preformed molded carpet for a Factory fit
STOP ! Read Entire Instruction Sheet Before Starting!
Do not cut carpet until you are sure the carpet is correct for your Vehicle!
Carpets that have been cut or altered CAN NOT be returned for credit!
Trim Parts molded carpets are custom made to order and are
non-returnable except for manufacturing defects.
| General Notes: |
Some late model vehicles are equipped with a catalytic converter shield on
the floor.
Do not remove the shield; install the carpet over it.
Your new TrimParts 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 carpet, the loop
tends to grip the screw and will pull out in a continuous line of tuffs.
Note! Please take your TIME! Your TrimParts molded carpet has been custom molded to fit your vehicle. Plan to leave enough time for the disassembly of your interior, removal of the old carpet, proper installation and reassembly of your interior. Approximate time 3 Hours.

| Step 1- Removal |
Remove your new TrimParts molded 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 carpet to regain its molded shape.)
Remove sill plates (metal strip holding 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 carpet.
Remove the old carpet, KEEP IT! do not discard the old carpet yet.
|
| |
| Step 2- Preparation |
Remove the old 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 carpet over your new TrimParts molded carpet. Mark any holes
or additional cutout on the carpet with chalk, Do Not Cut Yet!
|
| |
| Step 3- Installation |
Place your new TrimParts molded 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 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
adhesive, and press back down to the floor. (Tip:Using a common automotive
spray adhesive will give a smoother fit, and less likely to move over time.)
Slip the 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 car.
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.)
