Just curious...you took the time to remove the seats but not the old carpet?
Looked like you put the new stuff over top the old stuff.
Since I can take a C4 interior apart in 30 mins with my eyes closed by now, you were about 30 seconds a side from removing the old stuff.

But whats with the wood screws holding the upper door molding piece on? Did you do that or did the shop put those in? I don't mean to be critical but there are better ways to hold those pieces on if the tabs are broken and you don't want to spring for new ones..

Those screws were there from before. I bought the parts from Ecklers to secure the door at the handle but they didn't fit. Do you have any other method to hold the molding?

I just bought new ones for mine a little while back.. $55 each.. But a friend of mine repaired his by peeling back the black covering just above the broken tabs. He then drilled down through the broken tabs and glued small diameter machine screws about an inch and a half long to replace the broken tabs. Glue the black covering back down to hide the screw heads and you have a pretty good looking repair job. Since you already have the screw holes in yours from the previous repair, I don't think it would be worth the effort to try to fix them now.... But that's up to you..
