Hi
I'm trying to tidy my carpets in the traveller I bought a couple of months ago.
Currently the carpet is over the cover at the bottom of the gear stick.
Should it be under the cover and if so am I ok to undo all the screws lift the cover off put the carpet down and the put the cover back and do the screws.
Does anyone have a photo of their carpet around the gear stick
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
You're right - the square metal cover and the rubber gaiter should fit on top of the carpet. It can be a bit tricky to locate the holes but with a little bit of trial error all should be well.

Re: Carpet
Yes, but use a bradawl to align one of the holes up and then start with the opposing screw, but dont fully tighten any of them until they have all been started.andygill wrote:Hi

Re: Carpet
Just adding to Kevin's post.
Punch the holes, with bradawl, in the carpet one by one....thin nails ( 2" or so ) / bits of wire will keep them in position...
so that the carpet lies correcty.
Place the metal cover and locate screws ( as Kevin has suggested )with your bradawl.
