Title: 2004 Beaver Yorktown how is carpet attached
Post by: Steve Hall on March 11, 2022, 12:36:41 AM

Would like to know how to get carpet wrinkles removed.  Is carpet attached with glue or by some other means?  Any input would be appreciated.

Steve,
I removed the carpet from both out 01 Contessa and 00 Marquis. Neither was glued down.

Sounds like your carpet needs to be re-stretched. There are tack strips located along the perimeter of the carpet, one uses a 'kick stretcher' to pull the carpet over these tack strips. A pro could do the job in an hour or two easy. Watch out for the tack strips, as they are just a piece of ply or chipboard with many little nails that poke up thru the board, ready to tear your hands, feet, and other body parts.
