My neighbor is trying to get her Dad's old truck up and running to surprise him before he departs this earth which is likely to be within the next 3-6mos. Nice ppl. Good guy. Thing is, they are poor as a church mouse. Asked me to re-carpet her Dad's old truck. She bought a carpet kit. In this old truck, the back cab wall never had carpet; I'm adding it. Question: Where the vertical back cab wall carpet meets the horizontal floor carpet, how do I make that 90 degree area look clean? Do I glue both edges a 1/4" or 1/2" from edge? Use velcro? My initial thought was some sort of carpet tack strip like what is used in house carpet, if available. In addition, it's not a completely straight line; has a curve to it. Any thoughts? Appreciate your response in advance.

I just watched John video on doing carpet. I think they would overlap , Is there a edge that is sewed on to it to make it looked finished.

carpet binding is what I meant .

No binding. She ordered without it so I would have extra material. She had ordered a previous kit from same supplier with binding and both were too short.. Any thoughts? Perhaps just cut to fit as close as possible and singe the edges to prevent fraying. Just worried about it curling up. That's why I was thinking some light weight velcro or glue.

Do you have a picture of the corner? Trying to understand if it is inside corner, outside corner of 2 surfaces or 3 surfaces.

Trying to understand if you need to remove a section of carpet or trim some pile.
