i recently installed a used carpet, which was fine in the other car. took out flame red and swapped in black. but now, in the rear hatch area, the carpet has lines in it, like its binded up underneath. anybody have a quick resolve for this issue, or do i need to remove 90% of my plastic...again? lol

 

I Don't know if this is the same thing but I think I had the same problem as you. Yes I took out all the plastic panels to fix it. I laid it out as smooth as I could and then every time time I put a plastic panel back on i made sure it was still straight. I have an old cell phone pic 'cause I was gonna post the same question on TGO but decided to just figure it out myself.

I know its tough to see in the pic but it's to the left in the darker part of the trunk. If thats what it looks like in your car then yes you will have to remove the panels and straighten it all out.

At least thats what I did. perhaps some other member knows a faster way??

 

yea thats about what mine looks like. them lines make it look real bad when the rest is perfect. looks like ive got a few more hours on it then. :-( damn. lol thanks for the help.
