Do not cut the carpet until you are sure the auto carpet is correct for your Automobile!

Remove your new automobile 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 automobile carpet to regain its molded shape. Using your hand, you can push the contoured sections of your new carpet back to their molded position. Keep in mind, the carpet may have wrinkles that do not relax completely before being installed, and the molded contours in the carpet may look flattened from shipping; this is normal. After being installed properly, the carpet will regain and hold its molded shape.

It is very important that you verify your new auto carpet now, before you begin the installation. Once you begin to cut your new carpet, it may no longer be returnable, so now is the time to verify that the carpet you received is the correct item for your vehicle.

The easiest way to verify your new carpet is to lay it overtop of your old carpet and line up the molded contours of both carpets. Keep in mind, the new carpet has just been shipped in a box and it will have some wrinkles that have not relaxed and some of the molded contours will look flattened. This is normal and should not be mistaken as a manufacturing problem. After being installed properly, the carpet will regain and hold its molded shape. If your old auto carpet is not available, you can also "dry-fit" the carpet to your vehicle's floor pan.

At this point, if the contours in your new carpet in a different location than the contours in your old carpet, do not continue with your installation.
