Coco Mats Length Passenger Side? Options

[detoxcowboy]

I have coco mats from Coco Mats, and the passenger side goes up the footwell, is that correct? I know some memebers have these, thats how I found out where to order them, just curious if someone could share there experience with them,.. Yes I called Coco Mats but they are on Holiday for a week..

Hey Joe - if you wanted the shorter set on the pass. side, maybe call them & sullpy a pattern cut from brown paper to match your pass. carpet floor peice & ask them to cut it back to match & re-edge trim it for you.

I think that they come both tall or short @ L & R from various mfgrs., since some folks want to protect the pedal board & footwell/firewall carpet too - so they prefer them taller (I certainly would & did back in the 70's). You can put some velcro hook side tape on the back along the top edge to help keep it in place, but be careful when taking them out to ease the velcro hooks off the carpet to not bugger it up. I don't know if the "Coco Mats" brand with the heavy rubber backer stays up better, which would obviate the need for velcro.

Here are pix of some in my buddy's 71 914/4 with <61k mi., which IIRC are as original to the 70's (older mats were courser weave) - as is his factory paint!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Tod take note of how sweet the red dot ones look in his Bahia Red/Black! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)
