The carpet from 1AAuto was dove gray. Not really the right color though.

Carpet kit from Thirdgen ranch you mentioned is what I used.

Re: Hatch release

I did wonder if my relay was going bad. I'll see if I can find a replacement at the autoparts store. Even if it's not the issue it's better than having a 25 year old relay.

Anyone know why it takes 2-3 pushes on the hatch release switch to get the hatch to pop? I know it's not the switch itself because the same thing happens when using my key remote.
