Rear carpet worn through
Just noticed that the carpet in the rear of my coupe has warn a good sized hole next to the rubber thingee that you rest the roof panel on.. I guess there's no fix for this other than replacing the carpet???

My carpet seems to be wearing that way as well, Actually Stuzvette showed a few signs of it as well, its almost like the holes between the two targa mounts shrink...try to restretch the carpet and you cant' do it...i'll take some more pictures of it later.

Or do you know of any other places to get our kind of carpet (low/home depot/michaels has nothing close).

Take it to an upholstery shop and see if they have any suggestions. Only way I know of repairing it is to replace the carpet piece.
