Installation, Warranty and Cleaning
COMPACT, MID-SIZE & SUV/TRUCK FLOOR DEFENDER
INSTALLATION
Take product out of box and layout on surface that is being covered. Make sure same area is clear of debris/items that could cause indentations and/or possible tears in fabric. Unfold product completely and understand not all wrinkles may come out because of the heat-sealed seams. We designed our product to be used Seam Side UP! This creates more of a tray effect to collect rain, snow, mud or other fluids. Having the seam side up provides a slight texture to the mat, making it less slippery overall. Seam side up also allows the mat to lay flatter on the garage floor.
