Subject:Making my own replacement carpets... anything I should know?
From:K. Taylor

The carpets in my '91 Multivan are worn on and I want to replace them.  I haven't been
able to find replacement carpets (not mats... the basic carpet system).   I found a
chunk of carpet down at the local carpet shop that looks pretty good... heavy duty
commercial carpeting... black with lots  of specks of color throughout.  My plan is to
remove the original carpeting and send it with the new chunk of carpeting to a local
company that cuts and stitches edging so that the... uh... well, the edges are
stitched. (yawn).  Anyone know of a flaw in that plan?  Will there be a problem if the
new carpet is thicker?
