Default Torn carpet....repair?

Hey everyone, ok i have done a lot to my carp and have taken the carpet out a lot of times. The carpet is in perfect condition but has tears in a few spots from taking it in and out so many times. A few of the spots is the skinny carpet parts that go underneath the plastic clips on each side of the doors. and also the part where it attaches on the rear seat plastic pieces.....where the rear seat clips into... anyways im using guerilla tape to hole it together temporarily but this is a ghetto fix and i was wondering if theres anything else i could do that would be more permanent. Thanks everyone.


heres the part that clips onto the carpet pieces, bottom right of pic.

and a better pic of it.





the second part im talking about is the white plastic pieces in the middle of the pic....sorry for the crappy pic.

Short of getting a new carpet you'd probably have to sew the ends together or something.

Sewing it together wouldnt work because the material is too weak....you would need some kind of base to stich it to thats stronger.....any other ideas?

I ripped the carpet in a couple places around those clips but after I stuck every back in it looked like it did before.

The only thing is that my carpet has a lot more stress on it because i have added many layers of edead, plus a decoupler foam and mlv.....which has made the carpet fit different, and some spots endure more stress than regular now....
