Default Door Panel Upgrade Question

I'm up grading my door panels with the wood trim and scuff panels. Just recieved the rug panels and not sure how they work. Does the leather like material wrap around the bottom of the panel. Any help or photos and past threads would be helpful. I couldn't find any threads.

The smooth vinyl piece should wrap under and around the bottom lip of the panel where it should be stapled. Lots of staples! The top of the carpeted edge should have a few staples holding it in place, under the chrome trim piece. I HOPE to get this done on my driver's door tomorrow. I already did the passenger side, but didn't take pics

OK - here's the passenger side panel from the back showing the staples I used to attach the carpet to the new panel.





Hope this helps out
