I have a 97 Celica Convertible & it needs a new carpet bad. Now that I have replaced the top & the rear window regulators I won't be getting any more water in the car, & I can finally get around to replacing my nasty carpet.

The problem is that all the websites I've found that sell replacement carpets say it's not for the convertible, or they only have one carpet listed for the 6th Gen Celica. The sites I've looked at don't specify coupe, hatch or convertible carpets. I know I can't be the only one that has a convertible that needed the carpet replaced.

Does anyone know for sure of a company that sells a replacement carpet for the convertible?

I'd hate to spend $150 or more for a carpet only to find it doesn't fit properly.

I think that since the convertibles are converted from the coupe the difference is the extra reinforcements for the convertible. I'd image the fit is pretty close with some minor trimming being necessary.

If someone here has put the non vert carpet in a convertible, what was the issue & does it look all right when it's put back together?

Please if someone knows for sure I'd buy the carpet today.

I saw a guy power wash a carpet on YouTube, and it worked. Just be careful you don't blast the fibers to shreds. A power washer can remove paint, depending on the model. wink.gif

I power washed my carpets. I have a hatch though and it was insanely dirty. I assume your convertible's carpet will be even more dirty kindasad.gif

Used laundry detergent and scrubbed it, power washed all the soap out. scrubbed again. power washed again. Etc for a good 2 hours and dirt was still coming out of it...

My carpet was fine and the power washing didn't destroy it at all. I kept a good distance away though, just close enough to visibly see that the dirt was being blasted from the fibers as i moved the jet along the carpet.
