Not much you can do - maybe some kind of carpet tape or goopy adheesive might stick it back down. There was a TSB way back on the carpet - forget if it was miss-cut to begin with or just shrunk / pulled back over time. 97 Contour SE MTX K&N 3530, UR UDP, 19# Injectors, mystery mod, FMS wires, Fordchip.com chip, SVT: TB, Flywheel, clutch, exhaust 04 Grand Caravan SXT

It gives you enough to keep it "tucked" into the molding and it doesn't look bad. I just used some padding my neighbors had thrown out when they installed new carpet. When I bought my 1995 Contour I always joked I would drive it until the wheels fell off...never did I realize that with this car, that could actually happen!

Both mine have the problem at the pass door threshold so as at DOB 05/97 they still didn't get it right. 98 Mystique LS v6 atx 163,000km 97 Contour LX v6 atx 163,000km
