Hi guys, I have a 1997 Crown Vic Police interceptor and the floor and the trunk aren't carpeted. I've been wanting to carpet it but I don't know what to do.

My idea was to get some sheets of rubber 1/4"-1/8" thick and heat form it to the floor then glue the carpet to the carpet. then to finish it off by screwing it down in a couple of places. I don't want to just glue it straight on to the metal in case I need to remove it for something.

Has anybody tackled this task before? Any thoughts or ideas? thanks

many companies make preformed after market carpet for just about every car ever made in hundreds of colors.

u dont want to mess with shaping your own carpet...ive heard a few other guys try it out and its not worth doing if u can get prefabbed carpet. They also say though that with the prefabbed u should let it sit in the sun for a few hours so its a bit more pliable and will fit that much more snug otherwise it could still not sit flush in a few spots.
