I would Love to do that. But dont have the equiptment to do that kind of heating. I noticed that my carpet slightly bows out from the center hump next to the pedal by about 3/4" ......Would driving one small short machine screw w/washer into the carpet,drawing it close to the hump,allowing me a bit more space ...be a bad idea? It would work. 1 scheetmetal screw .......but i think it would look tacky kinda.
