Removal Procedure

Floor carpet is specially designed for the high floor pan temperatures caused by the catalytic converter in the exhaust system. When servicing a vehicle in the field, it is essential that any floor pan carpet that has been disturbed or dislodged be reinstalled in the original location. It is important that any carpet service repair or replacement be the same thickness, size and location as the original installation in the vehicle or vehicle damage and/or personal injury could result. When servicing or replacing interior carpets the following instructions must be observed:

    • Carpets must be installed in the original position and sequence. Pieces should be butted together to avoid gapping or overlapping.
    • If it is necessary to replace a carpet, specified material must be used.
    • Use original part to determine the amount of replacement material and as a template for cutting and fitting a new piece to the floor pan.
    • When installing a carpet, do not enlarge cutouts or holes used for attachment of interior components such as a seat or seat belt.
    • Spray-on deadeners and trim adhesives should not be applied to the top of the floor pan at the area directly over the catalytic converter or muffler.
