Carpet kit for a 2009 AWD van?
I cant seem to find a carpet kit past 2002.
Why doesnt anyone make one?
Can the 2002 kit be modified to fit a 2009?
Any help would be awesome as my vinyl OEM kit is worn out.
Thanks!

Just buy some carpet and install it over the vinyl. It tucks under all around. If you have no seats then its easy. The only problem is the 12 foot width wont make it all the way to the engine cover. But you could end the carpet between the front seats. Another option is an auto wrecker.....but it may be hard to find one not trashed or soaking wet....

Thanks Canucklehead. I have bamboo in the back so I only need the cab area. Wish I could freshen up the whole thing with a new carpet kit.
I took some measurements from a 2001 and they seem pretty similar but not exact. The doghouse is bigger in mine and there are a few other differences that look like they would add up to a lot of cutting if I opt for the pre 2003 kit.
There also might be differences that I missed.
Seems crazy to me that no one makes a carpet kit past 2002. They are missing out on well over a decades worth of vans.

Yes up front is quite different. You cannot even find floor mats that a re made to fit, except for a cheap vinyl set from Gm for over 150 bucks.....rip off.
You can however, buy some carpet, and carefully cut it to shape.....Any exposed edges can be bound with edging at a carpet finishing shop. Like where they do custom area rugs etc.....
