I'm looking to replace the trunk carpet (not the typical heringbone, vinyl trunk mat) in my 73 Duster which has the rear fold-down seat. I can't seem to find one - do they make these in the aftermarket?

Thanks for your help!

I couldnt find any one that had them pre-cut so I just ordered some carpet by the yard and cut my own and then had the edges serged or bound whichever you prefer(they werent this way from the factory, atleast not in my car)but it will make the edges look real clean and keep it from falling apart over the years. The carpet I ordered matched the interior carpet of the car which was blue but from what I've heard the trunk carpet in the Duster with the fold-down option was always black irregardless of the color of the interior of the rest of the car. For me I didnt care about being factory correct. I did have my old trunk carpet which was in rough shape but good enough to use for a pattern, which made it a little easier to cut to fit. Even without my old carpet it would have been easy to cut though, you basically just need it to loosely cover the trunk floor, front to back, side to side besides that the only cuts that need to be made are around the gas tube and the jack mount. Easy

THANKS!!

Lowes had a nice black carpet that I used in my SpaceDuster trunk. I also used it on the sides by applying some carpet glue as my cardboard side pieces were long gone when I bought the car. It was one of their stock items on their large spools. To me it looks great and was cheap in price.
