Convertable Carpet
I'm order new carpet for my convertable. I was going to buy it thru yearone. Does anyone know anywhere cheaper and still high quality? Second they say just carpet for front and back. They dont' specify for a hatchback/convertable is the carpet in the vert different then a hatchback or are they the same?

Be careful though when Lon responds, he'll gladly correct you to the fact that you have a convertIble not a convertAble. 
Carpet is the same ...in coupes, the back is a seperate piece...much as you have a seperate piece in your trunk on the convertible

The front section is identical. The rear is too, except the convertible has one additional cut on either side.

Your question has already been correctly answered. You'lll only need to make a couple of cuts in the rear section of the coupe carpet kit for it to fit around the extra reinforcements added to the 'vert. This assumes you're keeping the same color as the original carpet. If not you'll have to get a little extra material to cover the sides of the area where the convertible top stores.
