  8. Some of our BMW molded carpet is designed to fit over the existing carpet, most others require removal of old carpet. Vacuum entire floor and inspect padding. Replace deteriorated or missing sections.
  9. Place new carpet in car, adjust so that contours in car match contours in carpet. Some padding adjustment and/or relief of edges may be necessary to get a perfect fit.
