Title: rear package tray carpet
Post by: sarjxxx on January 15, 2011, 10:40:25 PM
Does anybody know of any that is pre made? or is it just a choice between finding something good/remaking your own?

All I did was clean mine real good then use interior dye (black) to make it look good again. The exception might be that the original is in too rough of shape to begin with so maybe you'll have to hit the yards to find a decent one.

I used outdoor carpet from lowes over mine. Its backed with rubber, so once held down by the tabs, speaker grilles, and third brake light, it shapes perfectly to the original pad.

The grey was pretty close, looks more like a early 90's nissan stitch more than the woven material that is original. I tried to clean mine once upon a time and turned it piss yellow in the process.

hey while on the topic, why is it that mine does not sit flush with the sail panels? is this normal? I can see about a 1/2" gap between the carpet and bottom of the panels, straight through to the insulation behind. Just doesn't seem right.....
