    Anyone have sill carpets with in tact vinyl edging?

    Does anyone have used sill carpets with in tact vinyl edging? Preferably black.

    I cut my vinyl edging when removing my sill carpets and I figured I'd sew on new black vinyl but if anyone has a pair they could spare or sell very cheap maybe I could use them and avoid the sewing job. If you have grey ones, I can dye them black so they are still of use to me. If you have either color in pretty good shape with the full vinyl PLEASE let me know.
    Thanks !

    I'm still waffling if I should just bite the wallet and buy two Houston sill carpets at $260 or if I should call Hervey and see what he wants for sill carpets. Or if I should just buy black vinyl strips and sew them onto my sill carpets that have the vinyl strips cut off.

    The only concern with the NOS carpeting I would thing about is how the color would look against the existing faded carpet unless you plan to dye what you already have. If the only issue is the vinyl strip, it would probably only cost you a few bucks and a trip to an upholstery shop to let them run it down a sewing machine quickly. Then you'd save the existing carpet and you could toss the $260 at a different part of the car.

    Very true. An old friend dyed my grey carpets black and also dyed the sill carpets I have with the cut vinyl black. I think I may go the route of buying black. Into strips and seeing them to the carpeting either my self or alhave an upolstery shop do that. I just figured if anyone had sill carpets they pulled out when changing the carpet, maybe I can get thier sill carpets with the vinyl and either dye the carpet if it is grey or if theirs is black, that would be great.

    Lou, I don't have sill carpet. Just floor pan carpet and deck carpet.
