Boot carpet

[up_north]

Evening all

When I got my Stag it had a brand new but unfitted boot carpet set and I'm just wondering the best way to fit it? I presume the large floor piece just lays loose to get at the spare tyre? The piece for the rear bulkead glues on? What about the stiff side pieces - are they just wedged in? The one I think I'm really struggling with is the long piece which goes along the inside back - over the light panel. Again is it just a case of wedging this in - it seems to be a very tight fit and I don't want to damage it?

Thanks

Hi Ian, yes are quite right about the boot mat just laying inside and the rear panel gluing in place where the boot lid projects from.

You should havecompress cardboard trims that the carpet glues to on theside panel, if not, you can get them easily.The carpeted trimsthen just wedge in place and aresecured with a screw (well, mine are)

The long carpeted trim panel that fits where the lights go, is screwed in place.

Cheers

Hi Andrew

Many thanks for your quick reply - if you get chance would you mind letting me know where the screws are located?

Yes the light panel carpet is attached to cardboard.

Also - the plastic light covers - they have two screw holes - I think one screw goes into the metal bracket over the lights but the other one appears to line up with a hole in the above mentioned carpet - but is this actually attached via a u-nut?

Thanks

Ian

The boot floor mat in my car has press studs to hold it in place which I think are original.
