    Making a carpet seam

    Any tips?
    I have to do my floor in at least 2 pieces, so there will be a seam.
    I have a 2001 Cobra 180 with dual consoles.

    Re: Making a carpet seam (TxCobra)

    I did the floor in my champion in 1 piece. I laid the carpet in the floor after I cut it. Then pulled back one section and glued it. Then pulled the section under the passenger console and glued it. Then did the drivers side.

    Re: (TxCobra)

    i dunno if theres alot of material to work with but a carpet iron and some seam tape for home carpet would prob blend the two together.But i dunno how well it would hide the seam im not sure if the carpet tractor would have enough carpet to blend together

    I had to do a seem and just over laped the carpet and made one cut through both of the pieces. Made perfectly mached ends and just glued in place pulling the fibers out of the way as I went along.
