Just wondering if you can get the metal lip section that is spot welded on top of the door sils (heater channel) that holds the carpet in place?

Cheers

go to a sheet metal merchant and get some made up out of zinc plate. They will fold it for you. and just plug weld them on with a mig.

Something else I'll be trying on the bug I'm restoring, is doing away with these lips altogether, and using a nice screw down scuff plate that runs the length of the door opening. They come in chrome (might show scratches) or a polished alloy finish. They hold the carpet in place, and make for a nice custom touch. I haven't purchased them yet, but I believe Brett from Cruisin Car Carpets had some.

Just an alternative suggestion.
