OER carpet, looking for some feedback.

I believe all carpet kits come from ACC, best prices at rock auto.

I'm installing OER carpet in my Challenger this week(s). It's a slow process getting the folds out. I placed it out in the sun for hours on a 100 degree day. That made it flexible to place it in the car. There's lots of extra material. Jute backing is glued where it should be. Trimming will take time. It looks great. I have patioblocks on it now to get creases out some more.

Correct on both accounts! Mine was a great fit, just had to do some trimming. I got mine with the upgraded "Mass Backing", some kind of a rubber type backing and it was a big improvement over the jute backing.

Got the OER carpet this week. Came in a box all rolled up. Got it laid out in my living room. There is some bad creases. Put some heavy books on the ceases. Trying to get it flattened out before installation. Any tips would help

Lay it down on your driveway under the heat of the Sun.

I want to encourage you to use heat. Laying out the carpet kit (face down) on the lawn (just one example), in direct sunlight can do wonders. Come back a few hours later, when the carpet base is good and hot, one can press out those folds very nicely and get the carpet nearly perfectly flat. When it cools in the evening, pick the stiffer carpet up and gently place it inside. Repeat as needed.

I'm doing the final fitting of my OER carpet. So far, I've been able to trim off about 3 inches all the way around. It looks like I may need to trim some more off under the door sill plates. I'll try to get a couple of photos. It's conforming to the floor great so far.
