carpet question...

[dj393]

What is the difference between a coupe and targa carpet kit? Have a targa, but wondering if a coupe carpet kit would work in my car.

I was wondering that myself.

I thought that perhaps some of the convertible or targa body reinforcement made the front foot area smaller.

I think the backs are the same as the coupe, but I could be wrong.

What do you think of the coco mat look? Not stock but looks like it would hold up well.

I have been placing my un-folded roof on the back floor, the center pin is shifting the tunnel carpet all over the place. Are there any fixes out there?

I also have the rear seat folded down, and that seems to brace the top for travel.

Pelican seems to carry most everything, did you see a better price/quality elsewhere?

I leave my top unfolded in the trunk (fits perfect!) As for the Coco mats, I haven't seen enough of them to form an opinion, but I'm sure they look much better than my front carpets!! Does anyone know if early year floormats (up to 73) will fit in a 76??

Right side up or upside down?

I have templates of ll the floorboards and I can say without doubt that the footbox is narrower on a Traga. I'm not saying carpet won't fit. However, I would err on the side of having a coupe kit for a Targa rather than the other way around.

My cocoa mats seem generic and sloppy enough to go either way.

I put my top in the trunk right side up (has to slide under the hood latch section a little bit) Fits perfect.

the door post area is bigger on a targa which makes the carpet on the floor a little smaller,, so they are different, i bought a kit from pelicanlast year,, (have not put it in yet), but is is specifically cut for a targa.

Thanks for all the input! Found a great deal on a coupe carpet kit, but I guess I'll wait on a targa kit.
