Subject:Re: Replacement Carpet - OEM?

I just made a quick call to my local dealer.  He did an inquiry and the front carpets came up obsolete (all colors) in the US.  Maybe Canada?

I've never seen a true molded replacement. The ones from Sewfine etc. are
flat strips.  Some years ago I was selling original VW molded ones that I
found in Germany, but unfortunately they're long gone. (Sure wish I'd saved
one for myself.)  You may still be able to get them from the dealer, but I'm
sure the sticker shock would cause a heart attack.
