I had my 400 carpeting copied from the original, but he (trim shop) also measured the front and rear floor. He stated that the carpet shrunk over the years from water soaking in. The original went under the sills, but not by much. The new carpeting goes under the sill also.
I purchased new carpeting for the Caribbean. It is the new stuff made by Neal Porter. The color is right, but it was a horrible job done by someone in the Maryland area. It looked like the kid who swept the floor was given the job. I had to buy all new binding and the trim shop here is going to resew it.
I know Dave Czirr bought his carpet from Hirsch and is very happy with it. Perhaps he can chime in and tell us if it goes under the sills.
