I recently did my rugs. On the back deck I crimped down and glued the front of the carpet but the back half I velcroed to get access to the engine easier without having to tear up the carpet. Don't cut the carpet for the engine cover. It will look like crap after a while. I have to recut the wheel well covers. They sent me the wrong ones. BTW- I fully recommend 3M General trim adhesive. It works the best and the extra price is worth it.-- John 65 square (weezer) 04 jetta It may be ugly but she's all mine! > > On 27 May 2005 at 9:39, Roush, Norman wrote: > > > I was given a used rear cargo carpet kit for my squareback but it did > > not have any installation instructions.
