David / John:

Just went out and checked my tri-carb, which has all of it's original 
carpets etc.  The sill carpets go straight down and are trimmed tight to the 
underlay.  The tunnel cover carpet is under the floor carpet approx.  1/2 to 
1 inch.  My guess  would be that it's a safer bet today to run both the sill 
and the tunnel carpet under the floor carpet, especially since we all 
usually install some sort of insulation under everything anyway.  This would 
allow a bit for shrinkage, slight miss-cut, etc. without noticing any gaps. 
That's the way my trimmer did my recently completed BJ8.

The sill carpet and the tunnel carpet come straight down to the floor and do
not lap under the floor carpet
