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) |

Check with a fabric place... if they don't have what you want, they might give you the name of their supplier....we use brass grommets with twist locks at work to hold the tarps on top of the hose beds. You should be able to find something to match.
The grommets are easy to install. Cut a slit in the carpet, insert top and bottom halves. Use a hammer and the special tool that they sell with every kit to flatten the edges out. As your car is painted attaching the twist locks might pose a bit of a problem....mabey epoxey? These people might have what you need http://www.stimpson.com/ This post has been edited by GWN7: Mar 30 2005, 08:56 PM |
