New carpet

[Joe Dirt]

Has anyone recently bought new carpet for their Ex? I want to get some for Snowball, and want something nice, but not $500 either. I see the $189 carpet on eBay, but has anyone had experience with anyone else?

TIA! :wavey:

have you checked lmc, they carry a lot of stuff like that

 

[Joe Dirt]

They appear to only have floor mats... I searched for carpet, and that was all that came up.

Sort of the general consensus- all of the online/eBay/Whitney sites are about the same price. I did find this one, pretty good pricing...

I replaced the carpet in my 3rd gen last year with premium black. I'll hunt around for the receipt to see where I bought it from and how much. I think it was a little less than $300 shipped. Good stuff and came premolded. I just had to make some cuts and lay it in.

The Threadender? Seems you started this one :

I need new carpet someday too. Mine has a lot of coffee stains and such from previous owner in it that I just can't seem to get out.

I've been thinking about doing this someday also. If I did I was probably going to get the JC Whitney carpet, seems like a fair price and their products are pretty good.

Joe Dirt, if and when you do this please let us know where you got it from and how well it worked.

 

[Joe Dirt]

Will do. I'm planning on taking a lot of pics while I work on stuff this spring when it warms up. I'm also planning on taking pics of panels and parts and posting them in the hopes that if people ask "what is xxxxxxx" someone can link to a pic.

I am the threadender! LOL

If you are just replacing the carpet, you don't need to pull any panels. You can just slip it out from underneath. The only thing you need to pull are seats and the center console.

I haven't checked their catalog for Explorer stuff, but I've used Auto Custom Carpets out of Anniston, Alabama for many projects. They aren't cheap, but they sell some VERY high quality stuff.

That is where I got my Mustang carpet from... Good stuff, but yeah- expensive.

I'm pretty sure that's where I got my carpet as well.

anybody ever tried turtle wax carpet cleaner works like a champ for mine also turtle wax interior 1 worked great on all the vinyl in my truck looks semi new but yeah there are those tough stains

 

[Joe Dirt]

I've had the best luck with TuffStuff and Blue Coral. I haven't tried the Turtle Wax Interior 1 yet, but I have a SHO project coming soon, and they had kids... Yikes... May look it up.

Updating this thread though, I have not ordered carpet yet, I want to try powerwashing it at the quarterwash first and see what happens... Waiting for it to get warm enough that I can set it outside on a weekend and let it dry good, and clean out all of the crap inside and under the carpeting...

The easiest, and cheapest way to replace the carpet is to remove the old one, get a small remnant, then use the old one as a template to cut the new carpet.

What if i wanted to replace my carpet with that plastic/rubber liner i see in the sport tracs? where could i find one of those? Other then the dealer and a junk yard?

I got the cheapest one rockauto has for ~$115 works perfect
