I use a bucket of water on my carpet lol

 

Say I just bought the lmc truck rubber carpet and when it came to my door I never opened the box thinking it was molded and everything for my truck. I went to install it today and here to find out its just a flat piece of carpet that I have to fold and cut and what not did I get screwed or am I just thinking wrong?

 

Totally off topic, but why did you junk it? Was it wrecked, rusted to heck, or something? Just curious.

To the OP, if it said molded in the ad, it should be molded. Maybe it just appears flat because its been rolled up in the box? I did order some "molded" carpet from JC Whitney once that was just a flat square of carpet. No molding, no holes, nothing. I sent it back.

 

Yes, it got wrecked.

 

In the directions for more of those replacement floor coverings, it says to unroll it and leave it out for at least 24 hours before attempting to install so the creases in it can work themselves out. Might not be the issue with yours though.

Did you get it sorted out?

 

the directions said 48hrs didnt notice that till i opened the box and it was out on my 3 season porch. Its getting better now..... on my kitchen floor but I hope it turns out, got any tricks?

 

I have yet to do this myself, so all I can offer on this is from what I have read.

-It may not be a direct fit some trimming may be required.
-As with any work you do, take your time and do it right.
-READ the directions first!
-If it doesnt live up to your expectations, send it back.

I plan on replacing my carpet with a rubber mat eventually. So I've been reading around about it for a while. Maybe something with a diamond plate pattern.

 

yea i tried reading about it but couldnt come up with much. ganna let it sit on the floor till next weekend so it works easy hopefully. lesson learned again read directions. lol

 

Heat it up a little before you put it in. I've owned 3 Jeeps, had to buy 3 replacement canvas tops for them. I learned they go on a lot easier if you leave them out in the sun, next to the fireplace, etc and can warm them up and make them more pliable. I put a rubber mat in one jeep, warming it up a little helped.

 

Directions? Read first? WTF?
