General Installation Guide for Beetle/Super/Ghia Carpet Kits.
Before installing carpet, remove front & rear seats. Remove all carpet and rubber mats. DO NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE INSULATION MATERIAL GLUED TO THE FLOOR PAN OR TUNNEL UNLESS YOU ARE INSTALLING NEW INSULATION OR SOUND DEADENER. Clean and vacuum interior.If installing a Standard Carpet kit:(Beetle & Super only)
Remove stick shifter and emergency brake rubber to cut holes for the shifter lever, heater control and floor vents on all models. Use old carpet as a pattern for hole locations. If old carpet is unusable, then lay new carpet against where holes are to be cut and use as a pattern. Lay all pieces in place before gluing to check fit and position of all carpet pieces.
If installing a Premium Carpet kit:(Beetle & Super only)
Premium Carpet Kits are pre-cut so no trimming is typically required.
TEST FIT THE CARPET BEFORE GLUING THE CARPET IN PLACE!
We have seen countless cars with the wrong repair parts used, different floor pans and even replacement chassis used with different bodies. TEST FIT THE CARPET BEFORE INSTALLING!
1) Start with door sills at the door edge trim and lay the carpet in towards the center of the car.
2) Next glue both driver and passenger kick panel pieces. Start at the top and work down. (pre 68 models: be sure to line up the heater grommet).
3) Then glue in the front firewall section.
4) Install the rear floor and tunnel pieces. Start from the tunnel and work out to each of the doors. 5) Finally glue the front tunnel piece by starting from the tunnel and working out to each of the doors.
**Please Note: Whenever we install carpets our preferred gluing method is to spray back on the carpet and car floor. Then once glue is sticky, tack both pieces together.
Footrest vs. NO Footrest.
It is important to note if your car has a factory installed footrest underneath the front passenger carpet. The footrest is a removable metal slope that originally hinged at the very front towards the firewall. After 30-50 years cars that originally came with a footrest may have had it removed to provide extra leg-space for the passenger.Shipping
