How do you fix ripped carpet in a car?
My yellow labrador seems to have a sweet tooth for the carpets in my new car. What’s the best way to fix ripped carpet in a car?

Oh no! Labs will truly eat anything, won’t they? Luckily, you can fix ripped
carpet in a car
by patching it. The trick to a successful patch job is locating a close fit for the material so that even the keenest pair of eyes won’t be able to detect your DIY surgery. The best way to do that is to use a piece of your car’s existing carpet that you don’t need. For example, there’s usually some extra material hiding under your back seats or your dash.
By using an extra piece of existing carpet, you won’t have to worry about matching your car carpet’s color or texture. You’ve also just cut the time and cost of your replacement job way down.
If you’re not confident about your repair skills, you can always visit an interior detailer or upholsterer. Both should have the skills to easily fix the ripped carpet in your car.
