Not sure if all years are the same but my 64 the carpet goes over the top of the vertical wall of the luggage area and tucks into the groove right below the rear window. From there it hangs down the wall of the luggage area and then rolls flat across the bottom.
Hope that helps.

Tks for the reply Matthew and Zorba for your feed back. My ad was not clear so I am going to submit some photos. I’m inquiring about the extended piece of carpet that is attached to the back of the rear seat. The extended carpet falls between the seat and the luggage department when the rear seats his folded down. How does this extended carpet attach when the seat is folded down to make it look like one flowing piece of carpet that extends toward the luggage compartment? |

Metal strip that makes this look like one fluid piece....actually keeps the back of the rear seat with the car....pry the metal strip to release the carpet. |

Wheel607, You mentioned a metal strip, there is a metal strip inside (sandwiched) at the end of of the extended carpet. |
