What are all the options out there for a reproduction carpet set? I have emailed and left multiple messages with both of the guys that advertise parts for the 600. No replies from either. I guess they no longer sell them.
Thanks
Sedan Carpet Sets
Re: Sedan Carpet Sets
Did you email me about carpets?
The kits that Mike sells for sedan are made to order and take 6 weeks to get from the factory.
The sedan carpets are crap in my opinion but I don't know anyone who makes moulded front carpets like
the original. The repro sedan carpets come as 5 piece fronts like the coupe originals.
The repro carpets don't have the original snaps and if you glue them in as suggested by installers then you
have to pull them out to remove the engine because 2 of the subframe bolts are under there. The repro carpets
come with a bunch of random placed foam rubber pieces glued to the backs.
You would be better off taking your old carpets to a shop and have a set made. Use black loop material or cut pile as
you prefer but loop was like original. They will bind the edges and you can reuse your snaps. Add some new sections in
the floor like original sound deadener paddint that was there.
