Carpet under rear window

Do any of you know the exact reason this would not fit my '85 ?

Also, is there a hard board backer?

Just go buy some black indoor/outdoor carpet at Walmart, cut what I need and glue it ?

It should fit, I have one from a 1996 in my 1986, but, the 1996 has a piece of metal trim that holds the top of it in place.

You could do as you said and buy carpet and cut it to fit. But I think the panels that go in the back have a finished edge. Not sure of that, but that's my remembrance.

And there's no backer board. I think it just hangs there and is trapped by the corner trim.

Hmmm. Maybe the "glue some black carpet that mostly matches to the back wall" option is the best. I don't have corner trim. Base model...

Thanks for the info!

If you were to go to a salvage you might be able to find one of the metal strips that goes under the rear window. That would hold the carpet and you could glue or velcro the edges.
