[QUOTE="Transplant, post: 493763, member: 23849"] And finally for today, some helpful advice to confirm that carpet direction 100% matters. The first photo shows what happens when one hatch has carpet installed correctly, the second photo shows what happens when the carpet is installed backwards on one hatch. I have 3 hatches in my boat that are all the same size, I need 2 in one direction and 1 in the opposite direction. I did not confirm which hatches were which before glueing carpet on. This ended up being a minor issue because the hinges are not all drilled the same and can’t be installed in other locations without drilling new holes. But drilling a few holes is way easier than re-doing carpet so that’s what I did to get all the hatches installed and matching. Again, ignore the snowy footprints… it’s a byproduct of Mother Nature and December in Nova Scotia. [/QUOTE]
