Default Replacement carpet? Vinyl?

Hey guys, I kinda lost it a while back while having to take the transfer case shifter out for the second time to replace another $35 rubber gromet (don't be cheap folks, replace 'em both when you're in there!) rather than spend hours to take the already horribly stained carpet out just to put it back in I just cut it to get to the shifter, planning to replace it eventually. My question is has anyone had any luck finding a quality molded vinyl replacement for their carpet? I've seen a few out there for the standard and extended cabs but most companies seem to stop short of making it for the Quad Cab. 12106-390-1342000000 from JC Whitney seems to be for the Quad Cab but seeing as it's from JC Whitney I doubt the quality is there.

I actually searched before replacing my carpet and the answer was not that i could find however local auto upholstery shops were willing to put vinyl in but it would be a custom job..

I just went with ACC Carpet off rockauto but wish i would have gotten the mass backing.. this carpet is super thin and frankly not up to par with factory carpet and is not really that well molded.

Just words of wisdom incase you go that route.

My Dak Is a basic model so it had the thick vinyl or what ever it is and its been tough, looking a little scuffed up but in good shape. I just place a good coco mat on the passenger side and it looks nice. On my side I use cheap kitchen floor mats with a good thick pad on it keeps my feet comfortable and helps my bad back.


Good thing about the thick vinyl is it holds no smells and cleans easy with a wet clean cloth with a little spray cleaner. Glad I had it when my brothers kid barfed in my Dakota on a road trip I call him barf boy now.

Is there anything available for a Durango that might work? Seems to me the carpet should be more or less identical, at least for the most part.

Thanks for all the input guys. I was hoping for a vinyl or rubber I could just hose out or whatever but I may just go with http://www.stockinteriors.com/AutoCa...33&ModelId=646 The picture looks pretty good to me.

I want something like this http://www.automotiveinteriors.com/a...el=PICKUP#year but can't find anything like it for a quad cab Dakota. I've found full size quad cab and standard cab Dakota... http://sadtrombone.com/?autoplay=true

For regular carpet, there's always the manufacturer of the carpet you linked to ... http://www.stockinteriors.com/items....rew_Cab_Carpet

Alas, 'tis not vinyl, but carpet.
