Re: 47 Custom carpet question.

Thanks, Mark. On the tucked under question, on what's left of my pieces I think the carpet on the mat is rolled around for a finished edge and just butts up snugly to the molding. There appears to be enough room under the trim for that single layer of carpet in the middle but don't think the rubber mat with the carpet attached can fit.

Can't tell for sure on the kickpanel -- a couple of photos looks like it butts up to the bottom of the panels but unless my panels have shrunk some, it would easily go under. The way it is cut, if I pull it to one side against the sill, it looks to have about 1" before it reaches the sheet metal so thinking it has shrunk but does butt against the panel.

The back piece is another unknown. I think it fits under the rear seat edge & up against the floor retainers, butts up against the ledge seat sits on and again to the sill trim. If it doesn't go under the seat edge then it has really shrunk. No matter what, mine will have to go under because of the AC return air. Haven't decided if the seat will be raised slightly for the return air path or if I will try and fit a couple of the square heater grills in the seat base. Where it stops in relation to the front seat is in the air. There are two notches to fit around something under the seat. They are a good 6 inches away from the seat tracks. Guess I will have to dig the seat frame out and try to see what is under there.
