The carpet  for my bunkboards & fender panels I got at Home Depot, seems to be holding up to that job well. Figure it would work for interior carpet as well. Not many different colors to pick from, guess you could go basic black.... :wink:

Yup, leaving them out in the weathwer will sure do a number on them... Carpet & seats in mine were pretty hammered when I bought it. Sometimes you can breeathe a little life into it, by sweeping it with a stiff broom or a leaf rake, then vacuum it well...

Just temporary fix though....  a patch job, if you will.... get it? a "patch" job? :wink: lol :grin:

Deluxe Auto Top & Trim, here in Victoria... Dwight is who I dealt with, he's the owner. My step-dad & I built new frames & bases ourselves, then took them to him for the upholstery work.

LOL, I couldn't help it.... :cheesy:

Why not just do gel coat instead of carpet ? I really like the gel better than carpet myself , alot less cleanup .
