My interior is all original and in perfect shape except two small separations in the driver seat material.
I would like to clean (maybe wet vac) my carpets but I worry about introducing moisture into the carpet/interior. Should I take it all out to do it and just make sure it's dry before reinstalling? Also, any fix tips for the two small separations on the driver seat? Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Garland @ May 7 2016, 07:20 PM)  Remove it ALL. Soak in warm water and Simple Green, hand wash with a brush, block the edges, and hang air dry with a fan. The early rubber back mats will hold up to this treatment. It will help remove brake fuild from the surface of the rubber on the drivers mat. You will have to remove a few things to get it all out, but you wouldn't put clean carpet on a dirty floor. Clean the floor while the carpet drys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) +1 Exactly what I did to my '74 and they turned out fantastic! Whatever you do, start gentle; just like polishing paint. You can always use more aggressive measures if needed, but you can't go backwards if you accidentally damage the carpet. |
