Carpets

Post by BILLY BLACKARROW »

Hi all
I am at the stage of looking for carpets for my sedan, there are a few on EBay just wondering what people have used and what the opinions on what to get . I have a Hatfield tunnel and believe it needs a Auto carpet and that I may have to work it into shape with a little heat .

A mate of mine is a trimmer and he always buys Knox carpets.
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Yes on the auto carpet and sort of. If you have put in factory style bracing ie on the inside exactly as per factory you should be right. If like me the bracing is underneath the car you need to spend a little time heating the carpet to take out the moulded section for the bracing. Heat the underneath and basically lay on it. Takes a few goes but you can get a nice fit fairly easily. I used Knox Capets too, they come highly recommended.

Another vote for Knox carpets. Easy to deal with, good with freight and the quality looks pretty good.

Cheers,
