Cut Your Own Car Carpet

Automotive carpet usually is sold based on a specific make and model of vehicle.

Cut your own car carpet.

The carpet comes pre molded to match the contours of the vehicle. You may need to cut the floor mat shorter on the driver s side to keep from interfering with the operation of the brake gas and clutch pedals. The easiest way to complete this task is. If you re worried about your car floor mats slipping glue shower non slip appliques to their underside.

Cut the new carpet just a little larger than the old one. I ve seen over a dozen jobs done with pre formed carpet and they all looked good to great depending. A full size van will need more floor mats than a two seat convertible. Sometimes carpet in a car can get worn or stained and needs replacing.

It is not a difficult job if you follow a few basic instructions. I have seen 4 maybe 5 attempts at diy cutting stitching car carpet all were miserable failures. Afaik the only way to get it to look half decent is to start with shaped formed molded carpet panels. If you have an usual model of car or if you like to complete projects on your own you can mold the carpet to the vehicle yourself.

Take out the front car seats. Not something diyers are set up to do.
