New Carpet

Ordered some new carpet for the wagon from Stock Interiors , did some research and they have good reviews and the prices are reasonable . My car has the Lt Beige (RPO 64B) cloth interior and their # 8295 is a good match . I also ordered the Mass Backing which is a heavy underlayment for better heat and noise insulation all told $200.00 . I put the car away for the winter so this will be a spring project along with a new headliner and a thorough cleaning of the seats hopefully I'll have all my improvements done by late spring .

Nice. You will be amazed at the difference it's going to make.

Well I finally ordered the carpet and got it yesterday and I'm really pleased with it . I thought Stock Interiors made the carpet but when it arrived it was from ACC (Auto Custom Carpets Inc ). this is the same carpet that I used when I restored my wife's Chevelle and it was a good fit and fairly easy to install . Looking forward to spring so I can install it winters here in Ohio and I've got a bunch of cleaning and maintenance to do over the winter .

Yeah, they are all made by ACC these days.

will be ordering the same shortly. what year is yours? just ordered a sample to compare in the car. I'm going to have a busy weekend at some point, seats, console, carpet. Might as well do them all at once.

also, do these replacement carpets come with snaps or other types of retainers for floor mats? my OEM carpet has metal snaps...

A couple of responses : my car is a 94 and no they do not have snaps / provisions for floor mats . I have Coco fiber mats in mine and they are pretty secure without any type of snaps . As I mentioned before I ordered the carpet with the mass backing which adds some extra insulation I feel it was worth the extra cost .

I bought the carpet, and the snap in floor mats. The carpet does not have the snaps. Disapointing since I bought them together from the same web page, I thought as a set. Have not installed them yet. Mats may be available, or I may try to get snaps installed in the main carpet.

Our 96 had the snaps stock and the replacement mats I got had the matching snap tethers. They didn't work all that well as the tether is pretty long so the mats still moved around a lot.

I finally bit the bullet and put in the VW locking mat hold downs that I used in our RV to hold the mats in it. Problem solved and they never move around any more.

@wojtek -- from the color code 8295, I assume that you selected the plush cut pile, not the "ultra plush" -- could you please confirm that it matches the original material?
