#1 Wheel Arch Moquette Covers

Post by Series1 Stu » Tue Sep 15, 2026 9:40 pm

Hi

I am about to install the Moquette covers on the rear arches on my 3.8 FHC. I have scanned here and all the restoration and originality guides I can find but I can't fully see how far back towards the rear panel they go. Do they reach as far back as the vinyl trim? Or do they stop somewhere along the way? Any photos would be appreciated, especially of original unrestored cars.

Regards
Stuart

If you can't make it work, make it complicated!

Hi Stuart,

It should go right back to the vinyl on the rear panel. I have attached a photo when I was trimming mine.
