have cut them upo and fibrglassed them smooth to get rid of parcel shelf rest bit, also covered over seatbelts and seat mounts.

I have trimmed them in black suede but is impossibile to use one piece

have tried to just cut both edges, but just isnt up to scratch.
any ideas how to join them or should i use these bits as a template and get the sewing machine out?

sorry no pics

this is one of them
it is the bit that goes into where you access lights etc that is causing the problem

I'd get a super fine dill bit, and drill a series of holes along all the edges.

Get some strong thread then, and sew through the suede into the holes, stitching it onto the plastic, will help hold it in place. You can lather a load of contact adhesive in the gaps between then too.

Basically anywhere there's a corner or edge that it needs to be pulled down. You could do it so the stitching matches the material or contrasts it.

didnt leave them black as they had unnesseccary (sp) sticky out bits

thought bout painting them but want them to match rear quarter panels so the seude runs from front to back, to keep it flowing as have no back seats
