Interior Carpet

Well I have just experienced my first problem. The interior carpet on the drivers side is coming away slightly and has to be tucked back in constantly - from the clutch area along the door, for about 10 inches.

I get the urge to just stick the sucker down but somehow don't think this is a good idea.

Any suggestions?

take it back to your dealer and get them to fix it. it's a very common problem on peugeots but especially with 206's as the carpet is cut too short.

you would think they would learn from their mistakes and get bigger carpets but you can't teach monkeys new tricks

Yep, same problem here but the dealer can fix it.

I actually have a pin at the opposite side of the carpet (fromthe pedals) that keeps the carpet in place.... hmm just thought, r we talking about the same thing? I mean the carpet mat!.....

Talking about the fixed floor covering that comes with the car rather than any addon that you might put your feet on. So not the mat. The fixed - or so called fixed - carpetting.

same here ... in the end I just used some velcro fixings ... esp good as I'm alway pulling it up to check amp wiring etc.

Great idea Paul - why didn't Peugeot think of that? Simple, practical and downright smart! Mind you, velcro (I recall) was invented in the 60's - too low tech for today - I don't think so.

thatÂ´s what i use, the velcro strips, even for the plastic on the center console so you wonÂ´t get any noises due to vibration

I remember when taking delivery of my CC to find the carpet coming away from the edge near the drivers door.

I pointed it out and was surprised when they immediately wipped out a peugeot carpet clip which kept it in place, somehow the clips are prone to coming off.
