|
|
While Matt brings up carpet it reminds me of the issue I am having. I have
the white Styrofoam *Looking* insulation on the floor of my RV6 up front.
We have glued the carpet down three times and it only lasts until the next
passenger who can't seem to get out efficiently manages with their legs to
get it all loose again. I originally tried two sided tape, then I used
contact cement in the corners and spots in the middle and lastly I sprayed
adhesive over the entire area and back of carpet. It came out right away
every time. On the left seat side it isn't a problem as I can get out
without pushing with my feet forward like that.
Anybody else had this problem, or if you didn't; what did you use?

Tim,
I've found the best way is similar to what they do in the marine
industry.
stainless snaps pop riveted to the floor pan and female snaps crimped onto
the carpet. snap in and out without any movement.
about 3 bucks worth of hardware. a local (marine / custom auto) upholstery
shop should have everything on hand.

I used Home Depot rubber mat (interlocking type) for 6A floor. Cut it
to fit between the floor stiffener angles. It's noise reducing,
vibration reducing, looks great , and holds itself on the floor
without any help. Still looks great after 600 hrs of use.
