[TR] TR3 Carpet Question

[Stan Foster]

I'm pretty sure they need to butt up next to each other. I had to relocate the front clips on the firewall as the new carpets were not exactly the same as the old ones and the new carpet needed to go higher on the firewall to fit nicely.

I thought that too as both ends are finished off with binding, however, I have about a ½" gap there.  If I do it that way, I think I will lay a piece of black tape on the floor to keep the white from the car showing through even a small space between the two pieces.  Currently I prefer the overlap, but perhaps I am wrong on that account, given there was no front piece in the original cars I suppose it is just a matter of individual preference.

Thanks,
Bill

Bill - seems that the only way they would fit is to butt up to each other.   At least that is how it seemed when I put mine in last year.   I thought I had some images other than this one but can't put my fingers on them.  Could be on a different computer or USB.

Should the two pieces of floor carpet just meet, butt together, or should there be a small,(1 inch?) overlap?   A good picture would be nice if someone has one.

Thanks,
