Hi Aldo,
All carpet is not born equal.
I've not read of any complaints about carpet fading quickly when it's from the very few main manufacturers.
The are venders that have carpet sets available that are much cheaper, and that has always made me wonder what it is they're selling.
Too bad you can't remember who you bought yours from.
Al Knock and ACC are 2 well known manufacturers. You might want to talk to Willcox.
Regards,
Alan

Hi Aldo,
For some reason the carpet is quite important in how the interior looks in out cars. Perhaps it's because you see so much of it.
Talk to Willcox!!
