[Tigers] Interior questions

Andy.
I just got through this on my Mk1A which  has a vin number within 200 of yours. I have all of the original panels.
Those corner pieces should be pebble grain as is the rear pleated panel. 
The vinyl on my corner panels was a little too beat to reuse but I did reuse the cardboard substrate. They are "molded" to the correct shape so  recovering them makes it easy.
There's also holes in the correct place for 3 metal clips. These clips are like the ones on the door panels.

The vinyl overhangs the cardboard and is glued into place where it covers the frame/package tray and held in place on the door pillar with another panel. I think the foam covers only the cardboard. 

I saved the old pieces so If you no longer have the original vinyl I can get the "cut to"  dimensions to you.

</div>Hey, guys:

The engine compartment is done, the front end is done, the dash and wiring harness are completed...now what?  Oh, yes...it's time to freshen the interior.  I'm going to start with new carpet, and to that end, I ordered and received a new carpet kit from Rick at SS.  However, a question has come up regarding the proper components of the miscellaneaous interior panels that trim the interior of a Mk1A.  

The particular questions I have are regarding the rear trim panels around the package tray area.  First of all, over the years I've restored two Mk1s but I've never done a Mk1A.  Consequently, I have some questions regarding these panels.  There is the rear panel with the horizontal pleats in it, then there are the two side panels, all of which are topped off with the waist roll that goes around the top of these panels to finish them off.    My car, being B382001600, should have the pebble interior, and it does as far as the seats, door panels, kick panels, and rear waist roll go.  However the two rear shelf side panels and the rear pleated shelf panel are not the "pebble" style of material; they are more smooth.  Is this right for my car?  Next, the two side panels seem to be one sheet of fabric each with a thin film of foam underneath.  There is also a cardboard backing that all of that connects to that covers the side of the shelf, with the exception of the rounded part of the whe
el well.  However, instead of having a separate piece of fabric for the wheel well, this thing is all one piece.  Is that the correct configuration or should it be two separate pieces?  If it's all one piece, how is the loose fabric part supposed to be attached to the wheel well and the area below the well?  Trim adhesive??

The last question has to do with the attachment of the rear waist roll.  My car has this waist roll glued on with trim adhesive.  However, it appears that there may have been some kind of clips that were once in place to hold this roll onto the car.  Can someone confirm this or, better yet, post a picture of what method of attachment was used to install that roll?  Oh...one other thing...did the convertible top boot snap onto the car at its lower leading edge with conventional snaps, or was it attached in some other fashion?  Some really detailed pics would be most appreciated; evidently throughout this project, I have come to the realization that I am much more of a visual person (sigh).

Thanks so much,
Andy Walker
