Foot Rest Carpet wear
MY 1991 has 15,000 miles on its. Carpet overall in great shape except area around driver's footrest on left side. Two thread bare areas. Any thoughts on repairs? All the carpet sales I find are for all the carpet or areas I don't need. I thought there might be a plastic cover offered for that area but no luck finding it. My color is red. Thanks.

Re: Foot Rest Carpet wear
Welcome to the forum - but if yours is a 1991, you're posting in the wrong place - should be under the C4 section.
I had a threadbare strip in my red '91 too, right next to the footrest. I bought a small strip of red carpet on eBay, cut a sliver out, and glued it in there with automotive carpet glue. Doesn't look perfect but also doesn't attract any attention - basically you can't see it if you're not looking for it. See before and after pics. Sorry for the before pic being so blurry but hopefully you get the idea. |

Re: Foot Rest Carpet wear
As to prevention I recommend the fox weather boots.

Re: Foot Rest Carpet wear
I've often wondered why no one has come up with a dead pedal cover for this area.

Re: Foot Rest Carpet wear
I did the same as ram-g with a twist. Instead of similar carper from eBay, I cut a doner piece under the door sill and shaved rubber backing. Shaved piece was glued on using crazy glue.

Re: Foot Rest Carpet wear
Before mine started to wear I cut a small piece of clear vinyl and taped it to the problem area over lapping the edge.

Re: Foot Rest Carpet wear
When I did my auto conversion I was using Fox weather boots to protect
my carpets. But I found that my left foot had no go place to rest. So I made a dead pedal out of aluminum and pop rivet it to the weather boot Now my left foot can rest and the carpets stay clean.
