Hi all.
I recently bought new front scuttle panels (the interior trim panels by your feet in the footwells), they have a flap of material loose along the edge that meets the door, is this to wrap around the edge of the door frame & the door draught excluder put back in place over the top to hold the trim in place? Or am I missing something?
Thanks.
Neil.

Hi from Aus
That is correct, exactly as you stated (and NO you are not missing something).

Re: Scuttle panels (interior trim)
Hi all,I have this morning fitted some interior scuttle panels in the front footwells, however the flap of material is overlapping quite considerably, have I done this correctly? It doesn’t look like it if I am honest with myself!
Thank you,
Paul.

Fold/glue the flap out of sight to the rear of the panel.

Hi
Fit the kick panel without the door edging / draught excluder fitted and the flap just loose,
Once the panel is located and fitted correctly flap the flap around the door post edge and Mark it top and bottom a little short so you won't see the flap once the door edging is fitted, Mark a straight line on the flap from top to bottom and cut off the excess,
I normally use a small amount of suitable impact adhesive to hold the flap in place then fit the horrible spring steel retaining clips as required,
Then when you put the edging / draught excluder around the door frame you won't see the material flap.
Hope that helps,
Steve
