Are sill plate extensions needed?

[b5blue]

Hey I'm getting ready to do my interior over and spent so much money to get this far I'm just wondering if I can save extensions till later? Do they really hold the carpet in place or are they just pretty trim?  Opinions/advise?

you could always install them later. they do hold the carpet down next to the rear side panel.

Thanks for the pic and advise.

Now that the carpet is "mostly" installed I noticed others mentioned the mounting screw ends up under the rear seat. It also goes in at a bit of an angle to avoid hitting any wires under the loom cover on the sides. For the sake of just getting finished I broke down and ordered a pair....jeeze about 40.00.  I got sill plates with screws for 49.00!

I just glued it down and personally I think it looks better

I thought it helped hold the carpet in place like for getting in and out of the back seat.

I left mine off.....looks just fine.   With a little planning the carpet stays down fine.

I don't think there would be a problem with the carpet. My quarter panels are enough to keep it in place. Carpet tape works great here. But I did install the extensions and I like them.
