On an original carpet set,does the carpet over the tunnel also include the rear footwell mats ? and is there a rubber mat on the front passengers side footwell mat

Hello Dave. The transmission tunnel carpet is one piece. The carpet for the rear footwell runs from the footwell forward under the front seats and ends just below the seat sliding lever area. If that makes sense?

And the built in rubber nonskid mat is drivers side only!

The early dolomites had seperate tunnel and foot well carpets and were not in one piece. All the aftermarket carpet sets are separate pieces as the old type. The later one piece type is pressed to shape and has a plastic backing and that's why it stays in shape. It's impossible to make a one piece carpet out of a straight piece from a roll of carpet.

Hi
Does anyone have any recommendations for new carpets, I have seen below on Ebay and think the blue would look nice against the navy seats and french blue paint.
My original is a mix of old house carpet and a caprter some some other car!
