Rear Carpet Kit for 1965-1972 Beetle in Black Loop
This 5 piece rear carpet kit comes in black loop and includes the 5 pieces needed to re-carpet the rear of your 1965-1972 Beetle sedan.
- 2 Pieces that Cover the Wheel Wells
- Center Section to cover the Luggage Tray
- Carpet to Cover the Back of the Rear Seat
- Flap Carpet Section at the Bottom of the Rear Seat
Superior Black Loop Carpet
The black loop carpet that is used is the best automotive grade loop carpet available. TMI has it made to a special spec and it is tighter and more durable than the "standard" automotive grade, 80/20 loop carpet.
Standard Yarn Binding
The carpet kit is yarn bound on all exposed (viewable) edges. For loop carpet, we recommend the standard yarn binding vs. cloth or vinyl binding. The yarn binding last longer and it blends in better with the loop carpet so that the edges and seams do not stand out.
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.
