Trying To Source New Carpet

My '07 Fit has/had the cracked body seams around the hatch that have allowed a ton of water in over the years. The accumulated water has wreaked havoc (and mold!) on my carpet. I've fixed the cracks the have caused the leaks (I think, I hope I got them all) and am now in need of a new carpet.

I can't find one anywhere online. Has anyone? Or, is this is a junkyard visit?

The plus of getting (clean one) from the wrecking yard, is learning hands-on how to swap it out. Remember to disconnect the battery and waiting for 15 minutes before unplugging front seats from SRS harness.

Also considering removing my carpet, cleaning it and letting it hang in the sun for a few days then reinstalling. I think I'll try this first before going the junkyard route. I'm also not sure if I've sealed all the cracks.

Ideally, you need subfreezing weather with plenty of sun (sunny cold day in a desert) to kill the mold. Sun rays plus mild temperature and high humidity will make matters worse!
