The 69 uses loop carpet and they started using cut pile in 70 on the delux interior with leather seats and wood trimed door panels. I would use Al Knock carpet, I have never had a hard time installing their carpet.

Most carpet comes from one manufacturer.

I put cut in my 75 and I like it a lot.
Also went with the heavy back stuff.

I agree totally will Rob, Willcox is a great vendor and they not only have a forum discount on carpet sets but I'm pretty sure they have an interior sale going on right now. Check with them first. Top quality carpet set. Word to the wise. Do not throw away your old carpet yet. use it as a template to trim and size the new carpet when you get it. Much easier and a sure fit!

I vote for the cut pile. I have the loop in my car and I hate it. Everything gets stuck in it.

I ordered 80/20 loop with the heavy jute backing form Wilcox. It is an ACC carpet through Wilcox, but the customer service at Wilcox is positively the best. Quick delivery, very knowledgeable / helpful.

Aside from some minor trim, especially on the passenger side, the carpet went in great. Looks fantastic.

While you do the carpet though, I'd recommend doing a sound and heat barrier as well. You will not regret it.

Some of them modify the old carpet and used it. Now-a-days, Many vendors are providing the carpet service, But in that only few of them only provide the best quality at affordable price and shipping also within time. Then correctly choose the best carpet services for our needs and solve the problem quickly.
