Carpet retaining strips...
« on: July 17, 2008, 07:14:58 AM »
Hey guys,
I'm looking for some new carpet retaining strips. I can't find them anywhere except with the whole rocker panel. And that is not what I want. Anyways.. Anybody have any leads? To complicate things I'm trying to micromanage this from Denmark..
Thanks

Why do it once when you can do it thrice?

Any good bodyshop should have a sheer/brake, all you need is a pc of sheet metal cut to length and then bent on the brake.

looks like this or similar





if the shop has one of these or even the cheapo one it should only take 5 min to make.

Thanks for the idea Geoff. I went out and bought some sheetmetal and a cheapo metal brake and fabbed them up in 15 minutes.

I looked pretty thoroughly and didn't find anything.
