My experience is that the carpet snaps are the same size as the convertible
top snaps and can be interchanged.  Most hardware stores will carry a kit
of snaps for under $5.  Of course, you'll have to devise some sort of
pedestal to raise the floor snap, if that feature is important to you.  I just
attached my snaps flat to the floor and never noticed any difference.  But
then I carpeted my car with house scraps, so YMMV...
