QMCC Moulded Car Carpets

What moulded flooring is

A moulded floor is carpet or vinyl that has been heated and pressed over a mould taken from the vehicle's own floor pan. When it cools it holds that shape: the transmission tunnel, the footwells, the rise under the seats and the step up to the firewall are all built in.

That's how the factories did it, and it's why a moulded floor looks right in a way that roll carpet rarely does. There's no pleating or darting to make flat carpet go around a tunnel, no seams across the footwell and no stretching that pulls the pile thin.

Moulded vs carpet off the roll

Roll carpet has its place, but for most vehicles moulded is quicker to fit and looks better when it's down.

Carpet or vinyl

Loop carpet has a tight, hard-wearing weave and the look of most factory floors from the sixties onwards. It's the one most trimmers reach for.

Plush carpet has a deeper, softer pile. It feels more upmarket underfoot and suits sedans, wagons and restorations where the original was a plush floor.

Vinyl comes in black, grey or brown. It hoses clean, doesn't hold sand or red dirt, and is the usual choice for work utes, LandCruisers and anything that gets muddy. Not every vehicle is available in vinyl; each product page says what's offered.

Carpet comes in 14 colours: Bark, Black, Blue, Brown, Buckskin, Burgundy, Charcoal, Chevy, Ginger, Green, Kingfisher, Red, Spindrift and Slate. See them in photos in the colour guide.

What we make

Most vehicles are available as a front floor, a rear floor or both together. Depending on the vehicle there are also cargo floors for wagons and vans, boot floors, wheel arch covers and tailgate panels. On some vehicles the front floor differs between automatic and manual, or between floor and column shift, and we ask about both when you order so the shape around the gear lever is right.

There are more than 300 vehicle listings in the range. The biggest sellers are LandCruiser floors, especially the 40, 45 and 79 Series, followed by Hilux, Patrol and the classic Holdens and Fords. Browse every moulded floor or find yours by vehicle.

Fitting a moulded floor

It's a weekend job with hand tools. The full fitting guide has more detail.

1. Unpack it straight awayLay the floor flat somewhere clean and dry so the moulded shape relaxes after shipping. On a cold day, somewhere warm helps.
2. Strip the cabinSeats, console, sill plates, kick panels and seatbelt bolts out. Keep the bolts in order.
3. Clean the floor pan and lay underlayVacuum the pan, fix any rust, then lay underfelt or acoustic underlay. It makes the floor sit flat and cuts heat and road noise.
4. Test fit before you trimLay the new floor in and work it into the footwells and over the tunnel. Only trim once it's sitting where it should.
5. Mark the holes from underneathFind the seat and seatbelt mounts by feel and mark them, then make small holes rather than big ones.
6. Refit the trimsSill plates and kick panels hold the edges down and finish the job.

Underlay and sound deadening

The floor you see is only half of it. Underlay goes down first, and it's what makes a new floor feel solid instead of thin. We sell QMCC Fibrefelt underfelt and sound deadening to go with every floor: a half sheet for a front-only job, a full sheet for front and rear.

Lead times, shipping and warranty

Every QMCC floor is made to order. Most are dispatched in 1–2 business days; a small number of older models take 5–7. Shipping is worked out by weight: under 5 kg is $20, 5–10 kg $50 and 10–25 kg $60. Standard-size floors can be sent to New Zealand for $100.

Moulded carpet and vinyl carry a 12 month warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Because each floor is made for your vehicle, it can't be returned for change of mind, so check the build date on your compliance plate against the product page before you order.
