Heart shape cut-out in Trunk Carpet

[boxster03]

There is a small heart cut out of my early 70 original trunk carpet near the passenger side front. Anyone else have this and does it have anything to do with the early deep 6 wheels that have the bump I have the early deep 6 wheels with the hearts and have no other idea why this small heart would be cut into the carpet..

Two horrible possibilities:

Radio or alarm. <-- I delete both.

sorry i don't understand ?

[Mr9146]

I meant that the only reasons I know of for a non-original cutout in original carpeting are:

1)radio - amplifier, wires, speakers, etc.
2)alarm systems - speakers, wires, control modules, sensors, etc.

Both of the above scenarios are horrible, and I do my best to delete them from customers' cars whenever possible.

boxter,
are you sure it isn't a snag/tear hole?
the non woven trunk material will do that if stretched.
maybe if you post a picture?

i will post a picture but this is no snag or modification by a hack radio guy this is a perfect heart shape stamped through the original trunk carpet, it is up front near the spare on passenger side. wonder what it could be

[Mr9146]

Now I'm curious. PLEASE, post a picture

[boxster03]

will take a picture as soon as wife returns with camera. it is a small apx. 1 inch perfect heart stamped right through the passenger side carpet, not the center carpet.

finally took the picture. hard to believe this would be from battery acid. it is on the passenger side outside trunk carpet up by the spare. anyone else have this? anything to do with deep six with hearts on the car?

There are some holes in mine also but none that pretty. I think I had a careless welder near my trunk at one time; or the hood was off for a repaint at a body shop...
