The carpeted area behind my seats has decided to curl. Seems the leather/plastic edging has shrunk for some unknown reason and is pulling the carpet up around the sides as it goes. Tried to repair it but the edging is so bloody hard it's never gonna stay.

Anyone know where I can get a replacement for it? The carpet is a lilac/purple with dark purple edging. Thought about looking for a breaker but with so many colour options, may take a while to find one.

I had this happen with the original carpet on mine after about 2 yrs (shockingly bad original fitting) and despite re-glueing and affixing, it just would not stay down. I had the whole car therefore recarpeted last year by A&R Pound in Baldock. If all you need is the back shelf, then they should be fine and can source a better quality carpet than the original - although saying that, some minor parts of my new carpet are once again coming slightly loose. However, if it involves the whole car and especially the pod area, consider using somelike like Racing Green as the removal of the pod by someone without experience could be fraught with issues.

Have you tried Willie Ramsay (just outside Edinburgh)? - he did a good job on one of my Chims hoods and very familiar with TVR interiors etc...

Don't suppose you have contact details handy for him do you?
