Default Carpet

The heat from my exhaust has really made my carpet long the well pull way from the sides and shrink almost in areas. I have a big bubble out spot on the pass side now too.

Anyone else have this problem? I;m guessing I'm going to have to invest in new carpet. soon and or try and re-glue it down. Its just so stiff not sure how to get it to glue down.

If you install another layer of carpet padding under the floor carpet it will raise the carpet probably enough to get it tucked in again.
