Default carpet question

my 06, when I bought it had a carpet issue. the carpet along the tunnel is pulled back slightly from the center console, as if it was like 1/4 inch too short to tuch under the console, this is on both sides.
Anyone see this befroe and any ideas?

I have seen it on here before, not sure what the fixes were. You might find it in a search.

It's been posted before. Don't remember if there's was a resolution or not.

I just searched on "carpet Short center console", and found this thread: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-c...r-console.html

I'm sure there are others if you search differently.

With 2006, a dealer visit may be costly since warranty is not there (even the extended one does not cover any cosmetic problems-I know because my local dealer already educated me on the subject)

Two words..."tunnel drapes"...very nice although I dislike the name. Corvettes are no place for "drapes"...

yeah I just spoke with DSV about a modified version of their tunnel drapes. I agree the name sucks, but what I am thinking is a drape that tucks under the tunnel and only is about 6 inches, so it does not go all the way to the floor, it would velcro to the carpet, it would just be a soft plastic with leather glued to it and go all the way. It could end up looking like something that actually belongs there, and solve the problem. Not cheap but at least it is a one time fix, instead of something that would happen over and over if you live in a real hot place or take it to the track alot
