A Modest Rant.
I was installing the downstream O2 sensor on my 1996 when I happened to glance at the flipped up bulkhead carpet.
It has no jute backing. Nope. None.
Instead it has the loop pile NA tan carpet glued to it!! WTF!?! (compare it to the fancy shag in background).
The better looking 1990-1995.5 loop carpet being used as a sound deadener. WTF again!?!?
The loop carpet that almost everyone prefers over the bland looking shag/cut pile used because Mazda saved some Yens.
The loop pile carpet that upgrades the interior in a retro way!
The loop pile that makes the interior of any black or tan NA just look better!
The loop pile carpet that is very hard to find any more (in tan anyway).
Goodness knows if Mazda will re-produce it or not!
