[TR] Trim Q

Good morning all, TR2 Q
I was engaging in a little bit of acrobatics yesterday, namely fitting the
carpet in the side wall of the foot well, Im sure it has an official name?,
A
post door seal (the big fat material covered one) and the hockey stick. The
carpet piece supplied had a strip of trim material along the edge that lined
with the door opening, so I guessed this wraps around the lip and is stuck in
place. On top of this one then sticks the fat door seal using the excess
material from its trimming, and finally the hockey stick is screwed in
position. If the above is correct, is it only contact adhesive used to hold
the
carpet trim edge and the door seal in position, as the screws from the hockey
stick come nowhere near catching the former. It seems a big ask with the door
constantly putting the seal under pressure as it is slammed shut.
Regards
John
