How to Mold a car carpet? basic Upholstery tutorial

[@brandonranger619]

I came for the carpet, stayed for the professional explanation from a smart man speaking clearly and articulated in a second language. Thank my friend and good work

[@jcs1275]

I'm not even redoing the carpet in my car but I truly enjoyed watching this! So satisfying to watch

[@blueridermg]

Lol....same here. This guy did a freakin good job. Made it look easy and shared his knowledge so that's very much appreciated

[@Shiloh8548]

I appreciate the video. Just a word of advise to anyone out there that might attempt doing this… in order to form carpet it has to have a polyethylene backing. Don’t make the mistake I did and order 150 dollars worth of Essex carpet only to find out it’s not the right kind to be able to form. If you order from ACC and get the mass backing stuff, it’s nearly impossible to reform it. Because ACC doesn’t always get the carpet sizing right, it’s best to order the carpet that does not have the mass backing. That way you at least have a chance of shaping it as this gentleman in the video has demonstrated. I can’t order a preformed carpet due to changing transmissions and having to enlarge the tranny tunnel and the gear shift placement is different as well. So I’ve placed another order with Texas Foam and Fabric and will attempt once more!

This guy is such a great instructor. He explains things thoroughly, and slowly as he works. He is positive, and has a good message for people.

[@christopherbrougham]

My God it's refreshing to see a skilled man at work, with only necessary explanation, great filming and no crapola music. Good man!

[@DUDE72341]

a true craftsman, more kids need to learn and use there hands, great job !

[@magnusatheos7301]

Lol good luck with that. But the fact many kids today don't want to do manual labor just makes more work for us who do.

[@nadenegoudeau9926]

I own an automotive upholstery shop. Most of the masters are gone now. Upholstery is a dying art. Trying to get anyone to learn this trade is useless.

[@cackleberryfarm4598]

Amazing work, thanks for doing it in English, I’m redoing the carpet in my 73 Buick and I’m having a hard time, after watching your video I’m going to try again tomorrow and listen to what you said, staying positive is half the battle, thank you.

You did an excellent job on the tutorial of how to install carpet I always thought I needed to buy carpet from an online auto part store premolded and you schooled me with this thank you. This was great I will continue to support you and all that you are sharing with us. Thank you again for taking the time to share this knowledge.

[@immu2261]

Thank you for this, I'm wanting to do a 100% teardown, and 100% custom rebuild of a car, I had an idea on how this was done, I was right about molding the padding (kinda), but I absolutely love that people like you who have experience, are willing to make videos showing how to do things like this. People who share knowledge are wonderful.

[@sam_s_]

This guy does a good job of explaining the work and he has a wonderful way of speaking. Love the accent.

[@waybad]

English is fantastic and your skills are awesome. Thank you so much 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@royb2251]

That’s the best carpet installation I’ve ever seen, especially like the ‘no stitch’ 👍🏻

[@jimlegalley6656]

Excellent video. I installed home carpet in a Datsun 521 truck years ago with cutting. With your tips, I believe I can do it better now with no cutting. Amazing!! Thank you for sharing.

[@RichardHubbuck]

This video is by far the best vehicle carpet fitting video on KZbin. Thank you SO MUCH for spending your time doing this! 🇬🇧

[@2094Ryan]

Your English is great, and thanks for taking the time to do so. Much appreciated. Love your work

[@kellykillam8643]

You are an amazing craftsman and I love how you encourage people to take their time and be positive!

[@KookiDowg]

Best in-depth video on this. You really are amazing at your craft. Muchas gracias!

[@laughingsharpie]

I was having a hard time on the 1950 ford I am doing. Hard angles due to poor replacement of floor pans made it a nightmare and I fought with it for hours. Never had such a problem with carpet. Decided to swallow my pride and see how others tackled a one piece, and this really helped a lot. Thank you so much, and keep it up!

[@MikeHunt-qu6ef]

I really enjoy the narrative on these videos, he has a calming voice he makes me think even i can do upholstery, good job keep up the good work

[@timwinfield8509]

So great to see such a skilled person at work. Thanks, I learned a lot.

[@72dodge340]

The best part is the words of encouragement near the end. The rest was incredibly educational too, of course, but if you go in with a bad attitude, none of the knowledge is of any use at all. Great work!

[@kylebelitz6629]

Thank you so much for English in this video! Explained exactly what I wanted to know! Gracias!

[@kingpanda2363]

[@CALB2009]

Excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, experience, and encouragement with us! I have a 1970 Ford Torino Cobra 429 that my Dad and I restored together many years ago in 1983. Even though it has been parked in a garage and covered with car cover for many years, it is now in need of some new carpet because some mice got into the original carpet. You've given me the courage to try to do this myself! Again, thank you! ~~Christy~~

[@susannahallanic1167]

Thank you! We have a touring car that is just not reasonable for short shopping trips to the nearby village. We talked about it and have now bought an errand car, a Citroen Mon Ami all-electric that recharges using an ordinary house electrical outlet. I chose to not get any of the accessories. Although it has been decades since I reupholstered the entire car interiors (headliner, door panels, seats) I have never installed a carpet. I definitely want a carpet in this little clown car. Since I have laid wall-to-wall carpet in a couple of small houses I'm not a total newbie so I am confident I can manage this. I just needed a guide about the process in order to achieve the best result. Thank you again.

[@rockspoon6528]

@@cuberlegend Mine is a 220D so it's the W115 body style, which is a bit different. The principles are the same though, I started by removing the trim and seats, pulling up the old carpet, and cleaning up the floor. In my case, 'cleaning up the floor' meant cutting out most of it and welding in a new floor due to rust.
