Vert vs. Hard top Carpet

I bought a brand new piece of black carpet for my 86 hardtop a few years back and have it sitting somewhere in storage.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Before I rip apart my storage looking for it, is it compatible with a '91 vert?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I'm obviously referring to the front section ("cabin") only, not the rear.<o:p></o:p>

Behind the seats, where the rear "wall" meets the floor boards.

You will have difficulty with the rear portion of the seat mounts.

In the coupe, its just two little bumps for the rear portion of the bracket; In the convertible it is a complete bar between the two.

Trying to put the coupe carpet in the vert WILL work, but you will come up short on fabric in the rearmost portion of the carpet and it will look like *** if not done right, which is impossible.

Everything else is fine though man.
