This usually happens due to lack of experience, the guy who does it here in trivandrum is a freelancer and has a lot of experience. I like his fit and finish, he dosen't take a lot of time matching contors and you cannot make out the spots which are glued.
2. the glued up parts always look clumsy and are prone to open up exposing the carpet below and very often becomming an opening thru which sand and water can enter and reach the carpet
This also depends upon the installers experience, take any accessory for that matter is not installed properly can have its down sides
3. in the event of a leakage of water from under the car into the footwell / AC condensor drain or any of the door beadings, the carpet could get wet and the felt underneath gets soggy and you would never know that this has happend
Even if you do not have a PVC flooring, there is hardly anything you can do in such a situation. The only benifit if you have PVC flooring is, the cabin will be neat and tidy even if the carpet underneath is soacked.
4. as a result of 3, the floor boards would rust, as also fungus and mildew forms on the felt and beneath the carpet leading to an unhealthy environment in the car
The floorboard would rust even if you don't have a PVC flooring and have a normal carpet, in case if you have PVC flooring you can be rest assured that you do not have to worry about accidental spils inside the cabin.
5. they give a cheap looking finish to an otherwise elegant looking car
I am planning to get this done in my lancer, looks elegant IMHO, you have different colors and textures available which makes it look good, best part is you will not have a stained carpet. Reduces the dry-cleaning cost which was regularly incurred once in every 2-3 months. This is a blessing specially in kerala.
6. fitment of the PVC matting requires removing and refitting of all the seats, the central console sorrounding the gear lever, making the car a rattle snake
Very true, but if you ensure that the fittings are intact and everything is tight, i guess rattels can be avoided. But as far as my understanding goes rattels happen when loose plastic/metal parts hit against each other, if there is a PVC coating between the two shouldn't this prevent rattles? 1. since these are not as malleable as the carpets very often they leave an uneven finish unlike the carpet which looks as though its hugging the entire floor2. the glued up parts always look clumsy and are prone to open up exposing the carpet below and very often becomming an opening thru which sand and water can enter and reach the carpet3. in the event of a leakage of water from under the car into the footwell / AC condensor drain or any of the door beadings, the carpet could get wet and the felt underneath gets soggy and you would never know that this has happend4. as a result of 3, the floor boards would rust, as also fungus and mildew forms on the felt and beneath the carpet leading to an unhealthy environment in the car5. they give a cheap looking finish to an otherwise elegant looking car6. fitment of the PVC matting requires removing and refitting of all the seats, the central console sorrounding the gear lever, making the car a rattle snake
My friend owns a car accessory shop here in trivandrum and my favourite passtime every weekend is to go and sit at his shop and watch some WIP, i have seen cars getting the PVC flooring upteen times and my answers to your questions are in boldMy .2$
