Need some help

It seems my wife took the B/W to get some groceries and WHOOPS..she had to get on the brakes and a bottle of toilet bowel cleaner tipped over in the bed. Let me tell you, that stuff melted the carpet all the way down to the bed. Anybody know where (if any) replacement carpet can be had? Insurance is paying for it, but it seems the OEM carpet is LONG GONE. So, if you know of anyone with a stash, or someone with a wrecked B/W willing to part with the carpet, please let me know

I had toilet bowl cleaner do that to a carpet in a house once; it ate the rug, a throw rug I threw on it, and the padding under it. I feel your pain, but I have only seen a couple of B/Ws for parts on fleabay. Can't a trim shop make one for it; the carpet can't be all that special. Maybe a carpet from the back of a Navigator lwb?

After 4 months of searching , I gave up. I went to a marine dealer to see what offerings they had. Surprisingly the carpet I found was actually thicker and felt more plush than the OEM. The only problem was no rubber backing. The body shop improvised with dynomat. The results are beautiful. The carpet looks OEM and feels OEM.
