They were advertising replacement carpet kits shipped in a flat box so it wasn't all wrinkled and smashed when you tried to install it. The one I got from Year One was rolled up and after 2 years in the car and repeated attempts at gluing it down, it still is balled up. Anybody seen the ad and know who it was for? Thanks

Thanks the carpet isn't flat to begin with so how can the box be flat ??? the shipping has to be very $$$$ for that ?

Follow the link & read about it...they have support stucture in the box & strong thread holding the carpet in place....
