Default Help with Interior Loop carpet on 69 model

Hello team, I hope everyone is safe around the world.

Regards from Spain.

I need your help with a question. I found an OEM Loop red carpet for C3 but it comes from a 76 model.

Did you know if the 76 fits the model 69? apparently in the photos it seems to be the same.

Thanks for the help

Sergio

Are you aware that automatic and manual transmission do not use the same carpet?
It will not be an exact fit do to changes under the seat among possible other differences.
The carpets changed in 1971.

1976 carpet​​

​1969 Carpet

They look a lot less expensive than other vendors - are they inferior quality?

I think the best ones (or the ones who everybody recommend ) are from Knock.

Don´t know this seller.

The loop carpet from ACC for my 73 convertible has not held up very good. Considering that I drive the car twice a month for twenty minutes, the carpet started to wear in less than a year. Don’t get me started on their loop floor mats, which look like they came from Chevrolet ... in 1973. If the car was a daily driver, then maybe the excessive wear issue would have some merit, it could be they want people to keep buying replacement carpeting and floor mats. I don’t know how the Al Knock products could wear out faster?

Be careful about "great savings"! I bought seat upholstery from a "Certain Foreign County" at 50% discount....VERY poor quality..
