Thank you sir. The carpet is glued on to some thin board then screwed to the wall. Makes getting in and out much easier.

Along the same lines as this, I have glued a couple of carpet tiles to our garage wall where the door would be likely to hit.
Your right it does make it easier getting in and out as if needed the door can be rested on the carpet tile instead of the concrete wall.

Been thinking about getting my screen replaced due to pitting and really bad etching on the passenger side. Did you do it privately? If so do you mind sharing who you got to do it?
