67 Carpet in Front of Rear Spring - Need a Pic

[Kirk M.]

Anyone happen to have a picture showing their rear carpet piece placed in front of the rear lid spring. I had mounted mine behind the spring and was told it should be in front of the spring. All well and good, except it is too tall to fit in front of the spring and I have to fold the top edge down. Since this edge is trimmed, I don't want to cut it to make it fit. Any ideas, help?

Thanks.

Not sure I understand your dilemma.
But, I'll get it started, and "Bump you up".
The end tab from the rear bulkhead folds forward over the spring assembly.
The lower "Floor" end tab then fold upward over the first tab.
The process should not require cutting as both of the tabs have the binding stitched all around.
Hope this helps until someone can provide a pic.

Hello Kirk;
Found these pictures in the archives.
Maybe they will help.

Ray,

Thanks for the pics but according to the JG those "tabs" that are behind the springs need to come forward over the spring.

Mike,

So you don't tuck the tab directly in front of the spring but rather just place it behind the floor tab along the pillar? Does that make sense? I have been trying to tuck it directly in front of the actual spring.

Do not reference those photos!
That configuration is nothing like TFP.
Hi Kirk, Yes...
The bulkhead tab folds forward to cover the spring mechanism and bracket, then, the floor tab folds upward, covering the bulkhead tab.
That front channel you referred to must be left open to allow the hinge freedom of movement (up and down) and cannot be covered.

Thanks Mike;

Hello Kirk;
Was just offering those pictures from the TCB archives to get a picture of the area.
I Apologize for confusing the issue, if that's what happened.

No need to apologize. Thanks for help in finding the pics.
