Default Accelerator pedal rubbing

Hi,
I just got an AU and one thing I noticed is the accelerator pedal hitting the carpet in the corner. The carpet doesn't go hard up against the body in the corner so it sticks out a bit below the pedal. If I push it to the floor it flexes the carpet and then pops out the plug (in the kick panel area where the looms are). Is this normal? The carpet seems aligned with everything else...Thanks

that's the first thing i notice when i first went for a drive in the ghia after i brought it, it was very annoying so i got a larger thick plug and put it a little bit higher up

cheers dean

I put a cut right in the corner to relax the carpet in all of my AU's.

Cheers for the feedback, guess it isn't just mine then. You'd think Ford would have noticed at some point it doesn't fit properly, pretty silly. I'll probably just cut it in the corner as well
