Should just be pull, might have a small amount of adhesive on there. I need to find something to paint it with, the VHT is chipping off that a little. That is the only spot that is giving me issues. I might try the leather dye on that next "warm" day I get here.

I was hinting at spelling. It is promoter.

But either way you spell it, you did a good job.

I'd like to know too. I was told the carpet was nylon and that the Dye would not stick well and may come off quickly. How is the dye holding up?

The "dye" that I used was the VHT vinyl dye. Where is was good is holding up great. But it didn't penetrate well, may have been the way I did it but w/e. It works, but I think actual carpet dye would be better.

Just another update, that I just thought of, the dye on the seats, some of the more used areas have cracked a little and the tan is showing through a little bit. I will be applying a little bit more dye when it get warmer and conditioning the seats from then on. Really couldn't in the winter :/

yea when i dyed my mats i rinsed them thoroughly to get rid of the excess, no way around that without removing the carpet...think i may try wetting it good and wet/dry vaccuum to see if that helps
