1995–1999 GMC Yukon Carpet Replacement – Buyer's Guide
July 02, 2025
The 1995–1999 GMC Yukon is a favorite among SUV enthusiasts, especially in its 2-door form, often referred to as part of the “OBS” (Old Body Style) GM truck family. Known for its square-jawed styling, off-road capabilities, and full-size interior space, this generation Yukon was built on the same platform as the GMT400 trucks. Whether you're restoring a rugged off-road rig or preserving a low-mileage survivor, replacing the interior carpet can drastically improve comfort, resale value, and your pride in ownership.
Why Replace the Carpet in Your OBS Yukon?
Years of foot traffic, moisture, sun exposure, and cargo hauling take a toll on original flooring. You may be dealing with:
- Permanent stains or embedded odors from pets, spills, or mildew
- Wear-through at the heel pad or fraying seams
- Hard, brittle backing or faded color from UV exposure
- Mold or rust issues after water intrusion
Replacing the carpet restores aesthetics, adds insulation, and eliminates lingering odors.
Material Options & Construction Types
For the 1995–1999 Yukon, all replacement carpet options are molded Cutpile. Cutpile is the factory-correct carpet type for this generation—dense, plush, and smooth—ideal for modern vehicles. Each molded kit is formed using a precise floor pan mold, which creates factory-like contours for a best-matching fit with minimal trimming.
All molded carpets listed below include jute padding pre-attached underneath for sound and thermal insulation. If you want even more insulation, consider upgrading to mass backing—a thicker rubberized layer that further blocks heat and road noise. It’s highly recommended for SUVs like the Yukon, which have larger cabin space and exposed metal floors that can amplify both heat and sound. Mass backing is available on all molded carpet kits shown here.

Installation Tips & Common Questions
- Do I need to trim the carpet? All molded carpets are oversized to allow trimming for accessories, brackets, and optional trim levels. Always test fit first.
- How do I make holes for mounting? Use a drill in reverse to make clean holes without fraying the carpet.
- How do I deal with wrinkles? Warm the carpet in the sun or with a heat gun to help it relax and mold better during install.
- What if I’m doing a custom project? You can order additional carpet yardage here.
- Can the heel pad be moved? Yes, if your Yukon has a symmetrical floor pan (many do), the vinyl heel pad can be repositioned for right-hand-drive export vehicles upon request.
