Second problem - I was missing some of the 1/2" stainless border strips. Again, no luck finding originals. I ended up at a local sheet metal shop who cut me 40' (5x8') of polished 1/2" stainless with a 1/4" lip for $100. I thought it was a good deal!
I will have used almost three running yards of carpet when I finish the back of the back seat. An experienced person would probably have used less.....
This is the finished cargo area floor:
