Carpet Kit, 7 Piece, for Beetle Convertable 58-70, Black

EMPI 7-Piece Black Carpet Kit for 1958-1970 VW Beetle Convertible

Vehicle Fitment & Compatibility

This premium EMPI carpet kit is engineered specifically for the 1958 through 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. It is a 7-piece set designed for models without a passenger-side footrest. The classic black loop material provides an authentic look and feel, making it the ideal choice for restorations or interior refreshes of your air-cooled VW.

Product Overview

Constructed from high-quality loop carpet, this kit is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. Each piece is pre-cut and sewn to match the original floor contours of the Beetle Convertible, ensuring a simplified installation process. The kit covers the main floor areas, heater channels, and firewall to help dampen road noise and improve cabin insulation.

Pro Tech Tips

Tip 1: Heat is Your Friend. Before you begin the installation, take the carpet pieces out of the box and lay them flat in the sun or a warm room for several hours. This allows the material to relax and removes any wrinkles or creases from shipping, making it much easier to mold to the floor pans.

Tip 2: Perform a Complete Dry Fit. Never apply adhesive immediately. Place every piece in the car first to verify alignment with the seat tracks, gear shifter, and pedals. This allows you to identify exactly where you might need to make minor relief cuts or adjustments before the carpet is permanently tacked down.

Tip 3: Use Quality Contact Cement. For the best results, use a high-strength spray adhesive or brush-on contact cement. Apply the adhesive to both the carpet backing and the metal floor, let it get "tacky" according to the manufacturer's instructions, and then press firmly. Start from the center tunnel and work your way out to the heater channels to ensure a tight, bubble-free fit.
