Carpet Sucks

dablazzin1 · November 4, 2008

About a month ago i purchased an o8 silverado 1500 ext cab..... days later i noticed the ugly and obvious slit under the seat in the carpet in which they say is for computer acces..... i also noticed the carpet coming up and down under the dash near the fire wall..... i took to dealer and they attempted to sneak by me a few zip ties to hold it down to some wires under that area...... hell no...... they have since replaced all of carpet in truck at no cost and i am still very un happy..... looks like ass and seems to be coming up in several places already and doesnt form very tight to the floor. I AM FURIOUS

I could be wrong but you seem to be the only person with this problem...

Most people probably just don't care. I mean, seriously, it's carpet...get some floor liners and move on. There are plenty of bigger things to worry about in the world than some crappy carpet in a truck.

Could not agree more. I wish I never had a bigger problem with any car and truck than an improperly fitting carpet.

What about some real issues people have, such as:

rough transmission shifting

vibration

differential whine

belt whine

loud squeaks and rattles

water leaks

poor quality paint chipping or peeling

engine problems

etc,

If you are furious over carpet, should those others with bigger issues be suicidal?

Saw a post before about the carpet, mine does not bother me.

I never checked for the slit under the seat, I mean you can't see it right?

Now that just sounds wrong.

Tell them you want the work truck floor;

You should have NEVER-NEVER-EVER let the dealer replace your carpet. They are the last people you want touching your truck. You should have just bough a can of spray on adhesive and taken care of it yourself.

I've noticed the slit under the drivers seat, my 02 had the same thing. Neither of them bothered me. It's too late now so you'll have to live with it.

The "slit" has to be there for access,Its under the seat anyway...you don't see it unless you move the seat and look for it

Two sided tape or velco will do the trick. I agree with most here the slit under the seat should not bother you as its " well under the seat ! " ....

If it was me, and I think I am probably the most picky person I know about my truck, I would buy a can of adhesive, I know they make it just for carpets because I had the same thing with a new boat I owned a few years ago. Spray it on both sides and move on.
