Default rear cargo carpet

anybody ever replace rear cargo carpet on a c4 for the rear fenderwell carpet not nice and square anymore due to the hatch seal leaking inside on the carpet?
if so, is their any company out there that makes a good fit? and the formed square part replicate the oem? thanks

I used Willcox but I believe most (if not all) the main suppliers get their carpet from the same mfg. Really not all that hard to install. Just need to remove the rear speaker covers, trim around the hatch, mounts for the top and the halo. Diffidently get the mass backed version. That is what the factory carpet is and it's premolded. You'll just have to cut the holes for the speakers and various fastener locations. https://willcoxcorvette.com/corvette...lack-mass-back You can get the poly backed version for a little less but the mass backed is the better version IMHO. Link is for an 85 in black but they have all the other factory colors and years. Keep in mind the color probably wont match what is in the front as it's most likely faded.

Did it a few years ago and not too hard but you do have to make the cuts for the roof panel holders.

I used ACC Inc. Yes the mass back is desired and made the carpet more sturdy. Very minor trimming involved. The color match is perfect to my eye. !00 percent improvement

Good luck
