[QUOTE="DPI, post: 430487, member: 21975"] How tall is the lip that is covered by the seal? Can you temporarily remove the seal to access the rivet installation area from the inside of the hatch? Can you modify the frame lip under the seal for easier access with a rivet gun? If not, this is the only way I can think of to install the carpet and hide the hardware, and you still have to remove the lid rivets to do it. And it looks like very tight tolerances so you may have to shave down the carpet for easier installation. You will need to place the carpet between the lid and hinge, install the rivets in the lid, then cover the rest of the lid with the carpet. I think this can be done, but it will be tight with a heavy ounce weight carpet. The carpet is yellow,the frame and hinge are black, and rivets are grey.
