I was wondering if anyone has any idea where the best place to buy replacement interior for my 96 explorer 4dr looking to replace the carpet with a vinyl floor because my carpet is done it's full of chainsaw grease and ground in dust from 4 years of daily travel on dirt roads. I have tried to clean it but can't get it out (I received the vehicle like this from my parents it was a work vehicle)
Seeing as I have a child I thought if I could find vinyl instead of carpet it would be better. I need somewhere that ships to Canada the only places I have found that have them don't. Thanks
And I apologize if this is a repeat thread.

I'm wondering if you can get a floor from a Sport Trac, since they're the same inside for the most part, and the cutouts should be the same? Anyone else?
 






I think you're right... The Sport Trac looks like it would use the same front section of carpet (or that washable mat). Even if it didn't, it probably wouldn't take much to mod it.
 












I had the back of my Explorer messed up by lawn mowers, trimmers, greasy tools etc. Last week I pulled on a mask and used to "so called" greaser removers. Sprayed it left it to "cut" for 2 hours. Then I added the roughest cheap soap powder I could find. Boy, you should see the carpet. Looking as good as new!!! No grime is too tough to remove I'd say. lol... Tonight I am stripping the rest of the carpet and will do the same. Funny thing is I have not been able to find a guide here on how to remove the dam thing - 1998 Ford Explorer.
Cheers
 






Next week I am doing the headliner replacement.
