Whose Storage Bin carpet Is not seperated from It's attachment points?
The slots In the carpet are grossly large. Does anyone have any elaborate Ideas on restoring It so It's solid again (non-hacked versions welcome 
).

If you're referring to the attachment points at the front edge, at the bottom of the storage frame, you'd use round push clips.
If it's the metal trim strip at the rear of the bins, you need the strip and about half-a-dozen philips screws.
If the holes in the carpet have gotten larger, you could sew them (if they have torn larger).

At this point, I'm Inclined to just pass the clips through the over sized holes and staple It closed. From there, I'll pass the clip through the plastic portion of the bin and call It a day.
*edit*
Atleast doing It this way I am able to hide the staples.

Mine's fine...But if you want to reinforce, just bend a strip of sheet metal to match the countour of the storage bin. You will need one on the outside, one on the inside. Now, simply put bolts through and form a sandwich.

Good Idea Aaron...doing It this way ensure that the holes will not reopen.
It seems no one has this problem with the oversized holes. I have s5 Interior In my s4. I doubt that would be a problem where the carpet has a little bit more slack and I know I Installed It correctly. I want to tackle this problem before I permanently mount my Yellow Top.

The Yellow Top Is going In. I am using the moulding/casing that came with It as structural support for the sides. I still have to look Into making a mount for It. My car Is down for about another month so I've got sometime to think It through.
