Installed new carpet from 914 rubber about four months ago. Beautiful install great carpet. Now every time I get out of the car I drag my foot across this one spot of carpet and it’s starting to frizzle and fray. I’m sure I’m not the only person that this is happens to. Looking for suggestions on some type of clear tape that’s very durable and won’t peel up easily to put on this edge.

Back in the day there used to be small aluminum (stainless?) threshold covers, usually machine turned. Maybe a set of those if you can find them?
Is that the ‘domestic loop’ material? I’ve found that the German loop holds up better. But the aftermarket carpets don’t have the same backing that the factory had. The factory backing helped hold the carpet in the shape it needed to be in to fit the area it was designed for. It’s the white/clear plastic like material on the back of the factory carpet pieces. That material helped hold the shape of the carpet...and helped the loops to its backing without unraveling. |

I have a set of these in the parts collection that came with Grey Matter. I intend to use them, but if someone is interested in dimensions & pics I'm happy to provide. Tom |
