This is where the carpet joins behind the radio. Has anyone experienced the 2 sides not meeting? I'm guessing they're supposed to overlap but I can barely get them to touch.

On all my 3, it never joined up properly - I didn't bother too much about it.
Having been in this very position recently my experience is the same I can about get them to touch but to over lap velcro. No chance.
Certainly not single handed.
Good do with 1 person pushing and holding in position whilst other side tries the push and press down.
I thought about peeling back, create a couple of holes in the carpet and zip tie.
But like chilli suggested, I gave up and let it be.
I managed to get it to join but it's barely half the width of that velcro. I reckon after a while it'll come apart again.
As you say
@Ardent it's a bit of a 2 man job.
One idea is to maybe have a separate bit of double sided velcro wide enough to bridge the gap.
Mine never reached either!
That's one of the reasons I re-created the side panels.
Helps to hide that ugliness.
I was thinking to punch some holes through and use a cable tie but haven't tried it yet.
How about this:

Stick 2 bits back-to-back, one side hook the other loop.
In principle yes.
Would need to have very good stick, if sticking to carpet. And still a 2 handed job to make a good attempt at it.

Stick the 2 bits of velcro back to back, sticky to sticky. So you end up with 1 piece that's hook one side and loop the other. Then put one side on top the left hand part of carpet and under the right side. The 2 sides of carpet only then have to meet and not overlap. But they should stay in place.
Ah yes, with you now.
