I am wondering if anybody has ever cut out a section of carpet (the size of a standard floor mat) and did that instead of trying to remove the door and shaving off the bottom and installing weatherstripping... my rear door has no clearance to the existing carpet such that I have to place my floor mats a doors length away. This means the carpet that is there is already getting dirty and in need of replacement. I just painted the hallway the door goes to and thinking about replacing the carpetting there. I'm thinking of leaving out a rectangular shape (the size of a standard floor mat) and simply putting the floor mat, flush to the carpet.... Has anybody done this? I wont nail it down or anything so it can be lifted and shaken out and stuff, but it might be a good way to do this without affecting the draft from the door which is nicely sealed as it is. (don't mess with a working door strategy).
The added bonus is I wont have to deal with shifty mats too...
