To replace the trunk carpet in your 1998 Honda Civic DX, first remove the plastic screws and circular clips. Check for child seat hooks near the rear seats. Gently pull on the old carpet to release it. Make sure all fasteners, including rivets, are removed. Clean any debris before installing the new trunk liner for a fresh look.
Carefully cut the old carpet along the edges and remove it from the trunk. Inspect the trunk surface for any damage or rust and address these issues before proceeding. Cut the new carpet to the appropriate size, ensuring it matches the trunk dimensions. Position it within the trunk, allowing for any necessary adjustments.
Once satisfied with the fit, apply upholstery adhesive to secure the new carpet in place. Ensure you press down firmly to eliminate air bubbles. Finally, replace any items back into the trunk, admiring your freshly restored space.
