A method of manufacturing a rear shelf trim and speaker grill panel (12) for an automotive vehicle (10) includes steps of punching a substrate layer (16) of a polypropylene and flax material with a punch set (46) to form a grill section (60). The substrate is folded in half and placing a decorative carpet layer (18) is placed over the folded substrate layers (16). The two layers are blow molded together into a combined speaker grill and rear shelf trim panel (12).

A carpet extractor carpet extractor which applies a cleaning fluid to a floor surface and vacuums dirty cleaning fluid, the carpet extractor comprising: a base housing; a recovery tank, selectively mounted on the base housing, for collecting the dirty cleaning fluid; and a nozzle assembly, pivotally connected to a forward end of the base housing, which provides a fluid flowpath for dirty cleaning fluid from the floor surface to the recovery tank, the nozzle assembly being pivotable between a first position, in which the fluid flowpath communicates with the recovery tank, and a second position, in which the fluid flowpath is spaced from the recovery tank to allow the recovery tank to be removed from the base housing. 7. The carpet extractor of claim 6, wherein the nozzle assembly includes flanges which engage hooks on the base housing, the flanges pivoting around the hooks. 8. The carpet extractor of claim 7, wherein the flanges and hooks are disengageable to allow the nozzle assembly to be completely separated from the base housing. 9. A carpet extractor which applies a cleaning fluid to a floor surface and vacuums dirty cleaning fluid, the carpet extractor comprising: a base housing; a recovery tank, mounted on the base housing, for collecting the dirty cleaning fluid; a nozzle assembly, mounted to the base housing, which provides a fluid flowpath for dirty cleaning fluid from the floor surface to the recovery tank, the nozzle assembly being movable from a first position, in which the fluid flowpath communicates with the recovery tank, to a second position, in which the fluid flowpath is spaced from the recovery tank to allow the recovery tank to be removed from the base housing; and a second fluid flowpath for dirty cleaning fluid from the floor surface to the recovery tank, the second fluid flowpath being defined between an outer surface of the recovery tank and a nozzle plate, the nozzle plate being connected to the recovery tank. 10. A carpet extractor which applies a cleaning fluid to a floor surface and vacuums dirty cleaning fluid, the carpet extractor comprising: a base housing; a recovery tank, selectively mounted on the base housing, for collecting the dirty cleaning fluid; and a nozzle assembly, mounted to the base housing, which provides a fluid flowpath for dirty cleaning fluid from the floor surface to the recovery tank, the nozzle assembly being movable from a first position, in which the fluid flowpath communicates with the recovery tank, to a second position, in which the fluid flowpath is spaced from the recovery tank to allow the recovery tank to be removed from the base housing, the first fluid flowpath and second fluid flowpath meeting adjacent an inlet to the recovery tank so that the dirty cleaning fluid in the first flowpath and the dirty fluid in the second flowpath enter the recovery tank as a single stream. 11. The carpet extractor of claim 10, further including: a valve which selectively at least partially closes both the first flowpath and the second flowpath when the carpet extractor is to be used for above floor cleaning; and an above floor cleaning tool having a vacuum hose which is selectively fluidly connectable with the recovery tank. 12. The carpet extractor of claim 11, wherein the valve is a flap valve which only partially closes the first flowpath and the second flowpath, the flap valve including an aperture through which dirty cleaning fluid may be drawn through the first and second flowpaths even when the valve is closed. 13. A carpet extractor which applies a cleaning fluid to a floor surface and vacuums dirty cleaning fluid, the carpet extractor comprising: a base housing; a recovery tank, selectively mounted on the base housing, for collecting the dirty cleaning fluid; a nozzle assembly, mounted to the base housing, which provides a fluid flowpath for dirty cleaning fluid from the floor surface to the recovery tank, th
