Question
Dose anyone no the sq/ft of the carpet n a 93-96 fleet I'm dynamating and want to buy the right amount of new deck also the sq/ft of the trunk space
Hello,
I do not have the dimensions, however it is very easy to figure out with a tape measure. All you do is take the tape to the rear seat back rest and run it back to where you want the carpet to end at the striker area. You are going to have to trim the edges any way under the trim when you install it.
Then at the widest part of the trunk, measure the distance from trim panel to trim panel. Add 4" (2" each side.
Multiply length x width. Let's say the trunk is 5 feet long x 4 feet wide That would be 20 sq. ft.
Say the material comes in 54" width, since the 54" is too short to run the 60" length from front to rear, you would have to figure the 54" width for side to side, which would leave you 1" extra if you were figuring 2" extra per side.
Now, you will have wasted material when cutting around the wheel wells because it is narrower, but there is nothing you can do about that since the roll material comes in 54".
As for length, obviously if these were the dimensions, you would get 5' of material in length.
The very first thing is that wherever you are buying the material, you need to find out the width of the roll of the material you are installing comes in. Once you find that out, you can determine what you need as for width and length.

Expertise
Alarm system questions cannot be answered on this forum. These systems are not what I can answer. Without being physically at the vehicle and not knowing what kind of electrical service has been done on the vehicle, there is no possible way to give an accurate answer over the internet. My expertise is in Ignition/key based anti-theft systems. These issues include GM VATS (resistor chip in key blade) PASSLOCK (MRD)-ignition lock rotation based, no special ignition key and the PKIII Transponder (computer chip in key) systems. These systems are not alarm based and are integral with the starting of the engine. This is why I cannot diagnose alarm problems without physically looking at the vehicle: Alarm systems are a completely different annimal than ignition key/lock based anti-theft system. Many alarm questions come from vehicles 10 years old, and since older, many hands that had been involved over the years.I am an expert in all GM factory (ignition/key based)systems. Alarm system questions pose to many situations beyond my knowledge as to what has been done to the vehicle over the years. Some guy may have actually wired the stereo into the alarm system. Who knows? Over my past 30 years in vehicle wiring repair, I have seen unbelievable wiring disaters done by guys that consider themselves "mechanics." I have seen stereos and alarms intalled using surgical tape. I have seen modules burn up, un-fused circuits, wiring jambed between the doors and even lamp cord used for a starter kill. To answer alarm questions over the internet without examining the vehicle is like asking; What does it take to remove a dent?
