@wonkipop
@jeffbowlsby @van b @big len In the midst of finally replacing a few key pieces of my original carpeting. Noticed something somewhat strange (see pics). The backing on the driver’s side (on right) is lighter and kind of light, stiff pvc or something. Stamped with “TSB”. Passenger side backing is black and much more rubbery; not stiff at all. Same situation with the NOS pieces I’m preparing to put in and the NOS passenger mat already in (not in pics). Any experience, insight, or history on this. These are known (mine) original pieces. As promised, truly minutia. Thanks! Backs of Originals:  Backs of New NOS:  |

Wish I could help guys but that lower door trim has had me stumped for awhile.
Early cars were vinyl over pressboard and typically black. Have seen some in vinyl that were in colors matching the interiors and not black. Then at least by mid '74 forward they changed to molded plastic and AFAIK, were always black and not upholstered. |
