DC2R Trunk's Carpet

[poizon]

Has anyone done something about their DC2R trunk carpet?

Mine seems to be coming out of velcro strap alot lately and its sliding all over the place. Sticks out like a sore thumb every time I open the boot.

yeah my carpet is hopeless as well!!

you could probably buy thicker carpet and cut it to fit?

lol!

i say live with it.. it is a type R after all.. nothing to brag about in terms of quality and build of the interior

just pull it out.. no need for the carpet.

take it out =P

i now use it to lie on when working under the car its actually alot warmer than the floor =P.. and somewhat soft =P

Yeah I've rolled the carpet under the rear seats and put on a generic rubber mat that I got from some shop...

replace the velcro in different places, my carpet has frayed where i meets the velcro, thats why it wont stay down

Another vote for "rip it out"

[hebe]

I didn't rip mine out but what I did was roll it up and shove it between the rear seats and the boot...

The reason why it doesn't stay down is because of the CF wheel cover. If you look at a VTiR with a rough wooden wheel cover, the carpet actually sticks to the rough surface, thus creating lots of friction on the carpet so that the carpet cannot move at all.

Exactly what I did.

man i have a vtir and it never stood still!.. it still uses velcro on the 2 corners..

Firstly the quality of that carpet is crap!

Secondly, that 2 measly velcro strips ain't strong enough to hold the G-force that the Type R can pull round corners. It will just end up dragging the carpet out.

Obviously honda was great at making things move not stay.
