Title: Mk1 Carpet.
Post by: Whittle55 on 09 March 2005, 16:01: Hi All.

Does anyone know of anywhere that repairs or would supply a new front carpet. I would prefer it to be repaired because it is in brilliant condition apart from where it fits around the door seal it has come awy from the material that the seal goes over.

Thanks
Andy. :smiley:

My carpet has come away slightly at the drivers side, tried to clip it back in but it's lost the extra few mm of material so I had to super glue it down slightly, not perfect I know but it's done the job. :grin:
