Rubber T that hides the carpet seam
« on: June 04, 2013, 10:04:36 PM »
You know where I can find this? I have an 82 volante and the rear board that covers the shaft log needed replacing. I ran all new carpet and I need to hide those two seams. What do I use?

If your replacing the carpet & the trim is shot, I would do as most boat builders do now, wrap the carpet around the edges.

Agreed. That's what I did with mine. Looks much cleaner. That "T" trim just ends up getting chipped away as it becomes brittle with age.

When people run down to the lake to see what is making that noise, you've succeeded.

Done and done. I thought about doing that. Just wasn't sure what others are doing.

HINT: sand off the hard edge before wrapping carpet.
