I have been searching for a week now, and cant find a place that sells a replacement carpet for my vert. Anyone know of a place at all? All I am looking for is just an OEM replacement. Thanks

I found a bunch on ebay. But I did talk with this company and plan to get one from them after my busy time is over...

Hmmmmm... seems like a pretty good price and it says for convertibles too. I've found replacement carpet but never for verts. If you buy some post up and let us know how it works out for you. I plan on replacing my top, carpet and seat leather when I get back to the states.

The problem with replacement carpets with verts is they all only cover the floorpan. You need to cut and re-use the old carpet to go up behind the back seat and over the hump into the trunk. I would give them a call and verify it covers behind the back seat and goes all the way to the trunk. The only reason I know this is because I'm trying to do an ebony interior conversion on the 1998 SS I just picked up and can't find a "real" direct replacement carpet either. If I do find one though, I'll post up.

well I will shoot these guys an email and ask if this covers the whole interior all the way to the trunk. I am not going to order it if it doesnt. I am guessing that maybe we might be able to order a new carpet from a dealer?

ok, still searching for a replacement carpet that will cover the whole floor, and trunk. Still no luck. I have emailed the local GM dealer by me also to see if they can order me a replacement. No luck yet:(

Let me know when you find it. I could use one as well.

HASTINGSRJ, post up what your local dealer says price wise. If it's somewhat reasonable maybe we can get a few of us together and do a group purchase. Also, see if you can get a part number and I'll check around by me.

I got a message back from a friend of mine who works at a dealer. When I hear from him I will let you all know.

ok, got an email back, here is the link: http://www.stockinteriors.com/AutoCarpet.asp?Itemid=6405&MakeId=5&ModelId=71
He says it goes all the way over the trunk. With regualar shipping it comes out to $433.00. I am still debating on getting it, since I am going to cut it anyways for the other half of my cage.

Thanks for the post HASTINGSRJ. I checked out the link and that carpet is for a regular coupe / t-top car. The carpet is cut different since it needs to go into the hatch area and all the way up the back of the trunk well (where we have that stiff cardboard carpet junk). Also, what options did you choose to get the price that high since the linked page is listed for $199.45 and the convertible carpet is listed for $134.95......I'm on the fence with this one. This was one of the places I called and they told me the vert carpet only covers the passenger area.

Deezl, that is the link that was emailed to me by that company. I have had the hardest time trying to find a full piece carpet for my vert. In the email I recieved, he told me that it was for a convertible, even though it says for a coupe. I am not able to call him otherwise I would have. I have no idea why it came out to $433.00.

No problem bud. I'm still looking around as well for one. The carpet is the only thing holding me up from replacing the grey interior in my SS with the ebony one. I never imagined it would be this hard to get the damn carpet.

Did you check Year One? or GM parts direct?

I got an online store that sells pretty much any interior piece you are looking for including carpet for our convertible floor pans and trunk area. It's all used but in excellent condition and there is pics on their website to show what you're buying. The problem is I don't think I can post it up w/o getting banned or an infraction b/c they are not a sponsor.

I looked for Billy Grahams but I think their website is down. They were an F body grave yard.

Insane....you probably won't get much as many of us are trying to get the ebony carpet.
