can i install carpet myself?

nickm · 08-23-2003

I just bought a new molded carpet for my car and before I rip this box open I wanted to know if I can install this myself or should I get someone to do it for me? Please, any help or info is really appreciated.

it is an easy job, the hardest part is getting the console out

3M makes a spray adhesive that is often used on carpets. My 2 cents.

Thanks Acooljt, this carpet comes with the jute padding on it. I have to cut out some parts, but it comes with all of the outlines needed to make it fit.

dont use any glue on a carpet, they fit great without it

Yeah, but what's it gonna hurt?

ever try to remove a carpet that has been glued down? Carpet only lasts 10 years

No, but I've pulled out carpet that's 36 years old

Alright, I put in the carpet, and it looks great, except for a few small problems. Thanks for the help guys.
