I have already carpet lined walls and all plywood panels including the ceiling, so there is no bare metal on walls, wheel arches etc.
Have come to the tailgate now, and not sure how much of it I should be carpeting. (I've done the plywood panel, but the rest is still bare metal.)
I have a rear window and wiper which I want to retain, so its not a matter of just doing the whole back. I'll probably put a curtain in there at some point also, but that should install fine through the carpet.
A few things I'm not sure on:
i) I'm assuming that I want some slight overlap with the seal so that the edge of the carpet isn't visible, but not complete overlap as this would introduce a leak as it would stop the seal from working?
ii) around the OEM window (left, right and above) there are some slots, not sure if these are air vents for demisting or perform some other function that means I shouldn't cover them?
iii) There is no rubber per se around the edge of the window on the inside, can I /should I go right to the edge of the glass. wary of getting too close and cutting electrics of some sort (eg window heater / demister) as I trim the carpet around there.
Tried to search, but couldn't find anything relevant. Hopefully someone can shed some light on my ignorance.
