My 240 if in great shape both interior and exterior with two exception: First, the carpet. There are two strips along the outer edges of the driver's and front passenger's foot wells that are bare of carpet. My car is the mustard yellow color with the tannish interior and orange-y carpet. Upon further inspection the carpet on the floor of the back seat is starting to come apart (looks like it stayed wet for some time had has rotted. So, does anyone know where I can get replacement carpet for these cars?
Second, the seat padding. The seat covers are in great shape BUT the padding inside has gotten hard and shurnken (how does that happen?) Is there a way to remove the seat covers and replace padding? In back the seat cover is in good shape too but the backing that is hidden behind the seat and pulls the seat back cover tight completely rotted so that there is no way to pull the front part tight now. Any ideas on that one?
Thanks for any ideas/advice. I just took a 2500 road trip in this car and she ran beautifully with 279k miles. At the tail end of the trip I did start to lose the exhaust manifold gasket which makes her sound like a VW but nothing else went wrong at all. Great car! I run it on
100% biodiesel too.
