I'm about ready to buy a carpet set. Been looking at Original Fit Interiors, Autos International and World Upholstery sets. Pretty much decided to go with a charcoal color, most likely from World Upholstery.
I haven't heard back from World yet, but Original Fit and Autos Int'l both stated that they do not have the grommets that attach to the posts on the floor board in their carpet sets. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) It seems to me that these should be included in the replacement carpet pieces. -They were there originally and the cars have the post in the floor to accomodate them. Why not put the grommets in the replacement carpets??? Any of you purchased a replacement carpet set that has the grommets? If you have a carpet set from World Uph, does it have the grommets? Here's the grommet Attached image(s) |

The grommet on the factory mat is vulcanized in place. My upholstery guy didn't think he could sew something with that small diameter. We talked about mounting a snap to the stud on the floor pan. The solution he came up with is a backing that he mounts to the mat that is made to keep the mat in place. It is fairly expensive stuff that is sold by the square foot. It has hard rubber nibs that are about 1/4" tall and 1/4" apart. Without the stuff my driver side mat would bunch up in front of the pedals, now the mats don't budge.
