Carpet around the E Brake, Add your pics Options

How did you handle this area of the carpet?

@trojanhorsepower

the factory handled this whole sill piece differently in the carpet itself.
it had a kind of clear plastic backing and this was added to the carpet stock backing.
then it appeared to have been pressed in a heat form to the shape of the lhs sill.

the passenger side was just normal carpet stock.

a couple of other interior carpet pieces were formed the same way.
namely the one behind the passenger seat which was formed to go over electrical connections and relays for interlock and also the central tunnel piece.

of course impossible to replicate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

you have to do it as @iankarr says
i started at the hand brake recess and then worked away in both directions.
mine is of course rhd so i was never going to be able to buy any factory NOS stock no matter what. i got a good result. but the trick is start glueing at the recess itself. get it nailed down and then work away from it.

the tunnel represents similar challenges to get the shape to conform just right, but not as difficult as sill. the factory never glued that down on the tunnel - it conformed to the shape naturally with the moulding layer on the backing. i found if i only glued along the flat edges where it sits on the cabin floor i got a pretty good result. also easy to get up again if needing to do tunnel work, cables access etc.
