Hi guys, I need to carpet my bed and I have a hole in it for my air ride notch. I dont know if they make a kit for this or if I have to make it myself... Which is not really a problem if i know what kind of carpet i can use (where to buy it what its called) ??? I would prefer to find a kit if i could, and the carpet has to beable to get wet and stay clean...... Any Ideas?

I would go to an upolstery shop and ask them what they would use for weather proof bed rug, then buy some bulk carpet and do the job yourself. I dont know what kind of carpet they would use...but you will be able to do a much better job than anyone else
I'd seriously think about some kind of notch cover and then having the carpet adjusted to fit over it. IMHO, if you're going to got o the trouble to have it fit and look good than I'd invest in having a notch cover of some form made. They are really easy to make/have made/install. Just as an example, here's one I did out of 16ga steel...

Check out a Boat shop, they should have or can get some marine grade carpet that won't mildew. Thats what Bedrug uses.

go to a carpet store there is a carpet out there that works perfect for this its an outdoor and indoor carpet i got mine in a gray black slate color it also comes in black and i belive a few other colors as well. It does not have a backing like house hold carpet it works good. it is easy to shape and mold around things i just cut mine in place and then used 3m spray adhesive to hold in place. u can also find this at remanant stores and its not the astro turf stuff.
