Boat carpet seam joining?

Question

I recently had boat carpet installed, and done well. However, the dimensions the new boat jump seats(rear seats) I ordered did not come close enough to advertised length when assembled.

I added on 2 1/2 inches of extra carpet length to ensure the carpet went under the seats. However, due to the seats being smaller than expected and were not assembled by then, one seat fell short of having carpet under it and another barely had enough under it.

So in short, I am asking what is the best method to reduce or eliminate the appearance of a seam.

Do you precut the extra piece with about 2 inches extra overlaping the previous edge, put the glue on the uncarpeted area, put the cut piece down, then cut at a 45 degree angle slightly over previous edge of the carpet to both edges?

I know I will need 3M Blue 72 spray adhesive for this and I have enough spare carpet to get it done myself.

Answer 1

I would suggest a Teakwood strip over the seam, you can place one on the other side to make it look as if it's supposed to be there for accent.  

this will ensure it doesn't peel up as well as cover the seam.
