Is the soft top carpet any different from the hard top or will any fit?

Rag tops have deeper sills, and a carpet to match.

Taking my life in my hands again by questioning your knowledge, Brian, but the carpet on a cabriolet only comes up about an inch on the cills. There's a bloody great bit of plastic to cover the rest.

The only difference in the carpets is the back bit that goes up to the rear seat, as far as I know.

the footwells are narrower too ben, hence overmats from a coupe don't fit a cab

I knew I'd be wrong!

Wiki needs amending.
