Carpet interchange?
« on: 23 July 2008, 07:21 AM »

I have a '75 and will be redoing the entire interior.  The factory carpet is bamboo multiloop.  I assume the later velour is a direct swap but I thought I would check.  Also, will the later carpet for the bolsters retrofit into the earlier w116s?  Is there any reason to pick the velour over the square weave?

The carpet should be interchangeable as well as the knee bolsters, there might be some difference in the fixings, though.
