Watching for the suggestions too

Gently stretch it around the curve and trim it flush with the bodywork, the edge gets hidden with the door/window rubbers.

Is it best to try and get it under the rubber ? (or is that not too important)

[Aberdeenbus]

It's easier done with the windows out but if it's a non factory window version there should be a trim on the inside of the frame you an pull off

But yep if not get as much as possible under the lip

when finishing around the sliding door do you just finish with a raw carpet edge?? is that vunerable to peel back after a while?? or do you use some kind of trim.. does the carpet start to fade after a while round the windows or is the mega stretch uv resistant?? just looking to get the best job and dont really want to be sticking bits back on after a few months or cutting bits out to replace it because its faded..

I have trim round mine, Ill take some pictures tomorrow and post them here.

and the carpet stretched around into the channel where the door seal goes, it took ages but a good result.
