Loc8 Table Carpeting

[Tiggy1955]

Has anyone successfully covered the Loc8 Table case with 4-way stretch carpet?

If so could you post some photos of you work?

One concern I have is that the thickness of the carpet might push it outwards and cause the table to rub on the wheel arch.

Thanks

Knights covered mine when they did the conversion.
Makes it a very tight fit, but does make it ever so close to the wheel arch.
I was thinking about trying to remove a little where it sits in the case/door so it sits in more, but had forgotten all about it until now
Will take some pics if you want

Still not having much luck removing but will keep trying! Once it’s out, is there a particular area of the carpet we can try and wear away quicker to speed up how it would wear over time/become easier to remove?

Here's mine for reference...





Guess I need to sort it as the arch has a couple of scratches now...
You Can just make out a scuff on the table where it catches...only catches if your rear arch is dirty, which is pretty common unfortunately!

I’ve got the same issue. I’ve added PPF to the arch area to temporarily resolve. That was 2 years ago and all’s well still!

might have to try that.
I was hoping that when the table bowed a little after leaving it in the rain overnight, that it would help, but not enough!

I’m sure it tends to rub when the door is opened “heavily” say on a hill / gradient

Mine is carpet lined & doesn’t rub the wheel arch.

Interesting as yours is a LWB too

Mine is lined with Alcantara and also doesn't rub the wheel arch (also a LWB).

I'm going to take the panel off and check there's no carpet folded over and causing it to sit slightly out from the door. Might need new clips...anyone know what would be the standard clips as mine look aftermarket?
Mine's a SWB, which I would imagine is more likely to catch...?

Mine is carpetted and doesn't rub. Screw a couple of self tappers behind small incisions in the carpet, and don't rely on those clips to hold everything in place.

Hidden clips and self tappers. Black tape showing where the screws are.

You won't need the black tape if you have a five year old that will locate and pull on the neat triangular incisions you made the first time they inspect your hard work.

You can adjust the door on the runners, the extra weight of the loc8 kit may have caused the door to sag.
