Default Carpet help...Q.

Been so long since I had the carpet out... (Area in question) the vertical area behind both seats...does the carpet come up and then bend over the ledge...then dive into the compartment? Second question: is there a trim piece at the top of the vertical? If there is a trim... I can't find it...ummmmm. If there is not trim... is this area just glued? Thanks in advance Don

72 coupe...

Muddy I wish I could help you out. I dont think there is a trim piece and I think everyone advises to put glue on the verticle wall.

I dont have carpet in mine and cant remember how it was when I yanked her out. Sorry

On my 70 coupe, there is no trim, it looks as though the carpet is wrapped around, and glued. My carpet should be all original too.

Just did the one on my 73. Carpet just bends over the top and
I just tucked mine over. I did not put it under the rear compartment
trim but I guess you could. Put a bit of 3M adhesive glue on the
wall that is directly behind the seats. HTH

Ummmm...no wonder I can't find a trim piece... I'll re-phrase that, no wonder Joanne could not find the trim... She's gonna kill me now . Needless to say: Sure seems strange...just bending the carpet over...oh well!!! Thanks a ton!!!
