Petrol tank securing and carpet securing

[orsum]

In the picture you can see three securing bolts (one missing) and the carpet with three holes which align with the securing holes.

Is the carpet meant to be clamped by these securing bolts?

It an S2 ABY Coupe Tank

Yes, the reinforced strip is folded under so the bolt heads are hidden when the carpet is down.

I was just typing the same thing!

Don't over tighten them though, mine have been in and out so many times that the hole the screws go into are now ever so slighlty too big.

Sorry but how are the bolt hidden when you put the bolt through the carpet and bolt it down.

Can you post a photo?

Fold your rear seats down. Place the carpet face down on the seat backs and screw in the fixings. Hinge the carpet over the correct way into the rear. Screws are covered.... Carpet in.

Ok now I have got it.

It took a bit to sink in

Just about to fit the carpet but still a bit confused. The fold over is clear I fully understand that.

But does the carpet fold under the metal cover so it is clamped along the full width or on top of the cover and only held in place by the three bolts.

Carpet goes on top of everything. Only held in place by the 3 fixings

Carpet in and looking good. Thanks.
