Thanks, Curtis. This'll help many get carpet up to Toyota's high standard!

I'm not sure what the carpet layout is like on a direct drive, but on my SX the carpet appears to run continuously from the floor to the under seat storage. Do you have same situation under your observer seat? If so, how do you plan to tackle it?

Supraman,
The Epics where put together like Legos. The carpets were laid before the tops where set into place.
I am going to cut as far under the observers seat as possible then add a little glue
then push the carpet under the edge with a scraper. Just so it is secure as possible without any hint of the replacement showing.  On this model I am working on, it has a 3" carpeted covered strip that follows the bottom edge of the observers
seat. I will post a pic later today that will show how they finished the edge.
