In this video, Will does a fantastic job demonstrating the fitment and installation of the Bat-Carpets and Bat-Mats. We recommend following this video for your installation:

Bat-Carpets Installation

You can begin the installation of this mod from Issue 64 of the build.
  1. Installation is very straight forward, just be mindful of the very sticky adhesive backing. The backing is sticky by design, but ensure you keep the carpets on their backing until you need them. Avoid touching the back with your fingers, and don’t place the carpet down on any surfaces you don’t want them stuck to!
  2. Carefully peel each piece of carpet off the sheet as you need them, ensuring the adhesive peels away with the carpet and doesn’t stay attached to the sheet. You may wish to use a blade to start peeling the carpet away from the corners to help aid the material off its backing.
Install the pieces in the following order for best results:
  1. First, find some holes to align when placing the carpet lightly into place. Then, before committing to final placement, find a straight edge to check the positioning of the carpet against or that all holes are aligned correctly.
  1. The adhesive is very strong, trying to remove the carpet after installation will tear the material, so try and get the material placed and aligned correctly first time.
  2. Once your happy with the carpets alignment, simply lay and press into place with your fingers.
  3. You can now install the remaining components of the footwell section and your completed carpet installation will look like this:

Bat-Mats Installation

  1. The same process applies for the Bat-Mats, however because you will be placing these directly onto the carpets themselves, you will find they can be removed, and repositioned easily if required.
  2. It is recommended to keep the non-stick backing that the mats come on. It can be used to store the mats on if you wish to interchange between different styles.
  3. Place your mats into position as shown:

  The installation is now complete!
