ABSTRACT:
Molded carpet for use in motor vehicles is made by a method which allows the molding of carpet having deep well areas. The method comprises the steps of heating a plastic backed carpet blank to a degree to make its backing pliable and thereafter molding the heated carpet in a set of specially constructed molds. The molds generally have the shape of the floor area to be covered. However, they are arch-shaped from edge to edge at those portions of the mold where draws are needed to accommodate specially contoured well areas of the motor vehicle's floor area.
