rich_e777 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 (edited) Tis the weekend project, I`m removing the Vert carpet first right now. I`ll have them out tomorrow and will get some measurements and pics. So far the difference I see is where the carpet ends at. On the coupe the carpet goes all the way beneath the rear seat and into the trunk, on the convertible the carpet is trimmed to end under the rear seat and a black insulation pad carries on up the welded bracing for the convertible top.

rich_e777 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Ok lets start with the backseat area, thats as far as I am with yard work pressing. More to come tomorrow and will get into the `94 coupe for comparison. Here is what it looks like underneath. This is a `95 and other than a cosmetic difference in the trim, it should be about the same for all convertible Cutlass Supremes. I have not cleaned it up yet nor looked closer at the rust spots but nothing jumped out as alarming just yet. You can see where the carpet is just trimmed to fit around the rear seat belt bolts. Use the bolts to make a line as to where to end the carpet at, the rear insulation pad overlaps the carpet by a few inches. 94 olds vert 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 There seems to be a brace added that might affect the way the coupe carpet lays across the rear seat hump. The bolt provision for the rear seat is just above my hand for reference. There may be some other additions like this in the front. Will update again tomorrow. I dont think the coupes have this reinforcement piece here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Very Curious as to how this turns out, If the only difference is in fact the rear floor reinforcement at the rear seat then that should be a win! Curious as to what else you find in the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I`ll get back to it in the next few days with some more pics for the front. Ive read where there could be some reinforcement on the inside rocker panel area. If its a similar bulge then that might make the coupe carpet not wide enough to fit over it. I`m also going to try and swap carpets between the two models once there both out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc Posted May 29 Report Share Posted May 29 Any updates on carpet fitment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_e777 Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 (edited) Ha! I knew there was something I was forgetting. Yes in fact there is indeed an update... Ive not seen any differences in the carpets other than the rear area I posted earlier about. Ive got the convertible carpet removed completely and have been deep cleaning. I dont see any structural differences in the floor pan layout between the coupe and convertible until you get to just behind the rear seats. Life events are holding me up ordering the carpets right now. But when I do I personally will be ordering two identical slate grey carpets from RockAuto for a 1994 Cutlass Supreme and trimming one to fit my 1995 convertible.

Ric Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Thanks for your extensive input on this subject, I'll continue to follow your updates. I also just started a new question regarding rocker panel reenforcement strips for my '93 convertible. If you happen to have any thoughts on that too. Thanks again.
