Replacing carpet with vinyl in 100 series

There is a mob in Carlton in Sydney called 'Department of the Interior'. They do all kinds of car carpet and interior modifications.

I am sure they would be able to help you out. Sorry I don't have their number but I know it will come up if you Google.

G’day Lyndsey,
I suppose you are aware of and have considered Sand Grabber Mats. They are moulded and give a perfect fit with press studs to keep them in place. They can be easily removed to dispose of the sand. I have them front and rear of my 100 series. I’m quite pedantic about sand in the car and find these a very good product. I’m a regular to Fraser and our trips through the Simpson makes them a very good investment.
Regards,
Myles.

I have vinyl in my 105, but I still have a small banister brush beside the seat to brush the sand off feet/shoes before we get in off sand, it's quick and easy to do.

Hello Lyndsey
Surely you're not planning on sitting the vehicle in water deep enough to flood the interior?
Been to CY a number of times via TT and never had water inside.
What I did in the the previous couple of vehicles was to lay clear plastic over the whole carpet. When removed at sale the carpet underneath was in pristine condition despite many years of use.
In the current vehicle we we've gone with the sand grabba type of mats. Too hard to remove all the seats etc to lay plastic again and now kids have grown up. I don't think it's worth the effort.

hi nathan and lyndsey

Hi everyone, thanks for all the relpies.

I do have the heavy duty sand grabber mats but the sand still gets all over the rest of the car and just can't seem to get it all out with the vacuum.
Hopefully we won't be "washing" our car at Cape york but you never know. I can't imagine the carpet smelling too nice after a wash in Nolans.
Have just found a mob on ebay that do it for $300.00 so will have a think about it and see how we go.
Thanks again for the replies.
Lyndsey
