My front carpets have had six years and roughly 300 hours of use. They look fine still, but are pretty limp. Due to some fuel leak issues prior to my buying the plane we've had a couple of very thorough shampoo & scrubbing sessions -
everything reeked of mogas. Anyway, the Velcro doesn't stick to the foam pads well, and the carpets tend to bunch up and creep forward under the rudder pedals. Not a great situation.
It's annual time, and i want to do something about that. What we need is something to give the rugs some "body" and keep them in place despite people getting in and out and moving around. I can order new front carpets from Abby at a pretty reasonable price. My wife has offered to help find another solution, since these look fine. Has anyone else been down this road? Any suggestions? I told her I'm willing to invest a couple of hours and a few bucks, but anything more elaborate makes it very attractive to just replace them.
