Carpet Repair on driver's side?
I'm reading threads but can't find good answers.
My TJ has a worn spot where my left heel rests at the front of the
drivers seat.
It's about 3"x6" and it's on that little ridge that rises up to the
seat railing.
My question is what do you do to keep from wearing that spot out
totally.
I was thinking I could cut a carpet patch from some place in the back
and glue it over the hole I'm making. Anybody done this and what's a
good adhesive?

Re: Carpet Repair on driver's side?
I got a cheap, nice looking black floormat set at Wal-Mart that was a
little too long for my TJ and put velcro strips on the bottom to hold
it in place. Fixed the wear issue, even in odd spots where I rest my
foot. Prepare for a sea of responses about how you should tear the
carpet out anyway since it's a Jeep :)

What do I do?
Take the carpet out completely.
It's a nuisance mostly
Dang thing, gotta vacume again! NOT :-)

Re: Carpet Repair on driver's side?
Thanks Mhammer and Frank for the help. I want to keep my carpet ,
thank you anyway. I like the insuation,soundproofing that carpet
provides me. My daily driver you know.
I have these really thick black mats in the front but they don'g go all
the way to the seat besides, they are too thick to lay smoothly on top
of the two little rises to the seat. Are the walmart mats thin enough
to lay down flat?
