Default Interior Carpet Problems

Ok my vette stayed outside for a month like 6 months ago and it was raining. I guess some water got inside then it dried out and now it looks all wrinkly and ugly is there any fix to it or do i need buy new carpet?

Thanks

Replacing the carpet is probably your best bet. Check out some of the parts ppl like Corvette America, Mid America, Ecklers, etc. Carpet replacement is simple in these cars. A good time to think about laying down some insulation as well.

We need some pics to really help you, but you may very well end up replacing the carpet, if for no other reason than a mildew smell.
