Default Convertible carpet question

Hey guys, quick question ...is there a difference between the rear humps for the coupe and convertible carpet?

The reason I'm asking is, the carpet I have looks like the upper carpet on this WILLCOX picture and there is no way they will fit in my convertible.

This is a picture of my carpet:



I bought this set from WILLCOX in 2016 and am now just getting around to installing it.

Thanks

Russ

Your profile says you have a 71 convertible the picture you posted is for a 68 and is not the same as 71.
What part number carpet did you order?
The Willcox site shows different carpets for 71 depending on manual, automatic, coupe or convertible.

Yes, I have a 71 but the convertible carpet picture from the 68 shows a different picture then I have.I would think the carpet from a 68 to a 71 would be pretty close.

This is from my invoice:

Carpet. Black 80/20 Convertible Automatic SKU 452720


My carpet picture looks like Willcox's coupe picture.

I'm going to Corvette Connection in Bolton tomorrow. Dana said he'd take a look at what I have and try to help me out.

Thanks
