Default carpeting

Let me tell the guys that haven't bought the carpeting for the back yet. This is not pre cut this is a horrible product I have been fighting with it for the past two hours I am ready to throw it in the Fu%&#$@ garbage. You would think with later technology they would do a better Fu$%&#@ job.

You may want to purchase some large poster board and make a precise template of your back area. Transfer this to your carpet and see what you got. There are several options for fitting, I'm sure others will weigh in.

Try to do this in an A/C garage if possible, 100 degree heat and precision work does not go hand in hand.

Hey, tell us how you REALLY feel about it. What brand/supplier was it? When I replaced the carpeting on my '75 convertible last year, it was still the original carpeting that I removed. I had new carpeting by ACC, but was surprised by how differently it was cut and configured than the original. It did turn out nice without too many issues, though.

Mine fit reasonably well in my convertible, although each of the wheel house pieces required trimming and fitting.
