This 'basic video' shows on a mock-up one of several 'traditional ways' to give shape on front and rear part of transmission tunnel when installing 'automotive non-heat molded carpets'. Most of old car trimmers know how to do it.
This common way consists in doing a 'T shape cut'. One long cut from left lowest bottom point all around the rounded section until touching the other right bottom point. A smaller perpendicular 'cut' should be done from upper edge to center of transversal line/cut.
For this 'basic demonstration' I am using 'non-backed automotive carpet'. This process would help us understand how to cut and give shape to carpet material around front and rear bulky part of transmisison tunnel.
The 'T' shape 'cuts' are mostly used on automobiles front and rear floor sections.
On trucks it should be done just on front section.
At the beginning of the video I am showing two samples on 'automotive carpet'. There are small differences when working on this kind of material. As we can see, the 'cut edges' would be sewn on its reverse side.
It is important to mention these 'must do cuts' in different ways are commonly used on ' automotive trim carpets' for automobiles. These carpets never would be heated to give them shape. Besides, we should be careful while cutting the edges. They easily fray.
As a particular opinion, I'd rather go for 'custom molded carpets' which are more resistant, all of its forms go in place, and easier to install.
I hope this information is useful for you!
