MG MG Y Type - Seat/door cards carpet strips

I have a problem with a car trimmer who has made a reasonable job of re trimming the seats and door cards but has not fitted the carpet strips. Since he has disposed of the original covers maintains that the carpet strips are attached with an adhesive and so I need pictures of these strips sown into position. If anyone can send close up pictures of the door and front seat backs it will help me to get the job done correctly.
Thanks Bryan

Sorry Paul I meant the carpet stitched onto the lower part of the door cards and seat back covers. Having only one illustration doesn't prove all Y types are the same

Grrr - why DO people do that? Dispose of customer's property without asking??

Let me see what I can do. I have some original door panels on my car. If I can get you a picture without removing them I will and it will be up here before you get up in the morning.

It makes me so angry when suppliers do that so I always make a point of telling them "... and keep the originals for me when you do this". If you do that, and state it in writing then they are in breach of contract if they dispose of them and are liable for replacement value. Just how you value unobtanium I do not know!

More later

It is kind of hard to see it but you can make out in the corners there are definite signs of stitching behind the rexine.

Good luck
