Dan,

I did the same with the carpet - cut it flush with the door sills. Also, start at the top end, not in the middle (and tape the other end so it doesn't scratch anything). Another thing that helped is that you can actually bend them a bit more than the actual curve. That way, you won't be wrestling as much trying to get them to lay against the fiberglass in the middle of the curves. With them bent slightly more than the curve and a second person pushing them into the curved area (pushing back toward the direction you've already screwed down) and holding them tight, you can get a nice fit.

I think you have my phone number from a previous PM, so feel free to call if you'd like to discuss in more detail.

Kevin
