Description / Abstract: GMW16597, 3rd Edition, September 2017 - Carpet Materials for Non-floor Applications

Material Description. Carpet materials shall be constructed using synthetic fibers, dyed and finished with an approved backing to become acceptable in color, pattern and physical properties as outlined in this specification.

Symbols. The finish symbol for the construction code defines the material construction and will be assigned by the GM responsible department.

Applicability. Suitable for non-floor applications, such as rear seat to back window covering, lower door trim, toe bar covers, trunk lining, load floor areas, lower Instrument panels, consoles.

Remarks. All interior materials are developed to be used in vehicles with solar glass; therefore, performance may be compromised if used in non-solar glass vehicles. For requirements of vehicles without solar absorbing glass, contact the appropriate Materials Engineer.
