carpet

Joe I would remove the old carpet and use it for a template to cut your new carpet. I would use a good contact adhesive to bond the new carpet to the top of the eng cover.

I guess so. Hard to say definitely since I've got no idea what your engine cover looks like. When I'm cutting carpet in tight places like wrapping stair tread returns, I always leave a little extra so that if I miscut, I can still use the same piece, kind of like nibbling on it until it's a good fit. A sharp utility knife and a good pair of scissors will be your best friends with this.

Yes, but not without a picture.
