What is the difference between cut & bound carpet and molded carpet?
A. Cut and bound carpet sets, which were used in most European cars until the mid 70’s, are comprised of several pieces of carpet each with an edging of either vinyl or cloth. Each piece is normally glued or snapped into place to cover the entire floor area of the car. All pieces of carpet that were originally supplied in the car are included in each set. Molded carpeting is usually supplied as one or two large pieces of carpet which has been heated and then placed in a mold to conform to all the contours of the cars floor.
