Quote: I have not found an E Body with the brass grommet in the carpet as of yet.
Dave, EVERY carpet I have removed from an E Body has had the grommets. The most recent a 1970 Cuda assembled in the Los Angeles plant.
With the different vendors I am sure that this scenario is all across the board. Half of the E Body cars I looked at did not even have holes drilled to incorporate the clips. (My Challenger falls into that group. No holes or clips.) The picture samples I posted above of the copper carpet was also out of a California car. Its hard to draw any conclusions from such inconsistent data!
