I received the Moss Deluxe Interior Panel kit today. There are no instructions, just a parts list. It is quite obvious where the new panels go but there are other parts that are not so obvious. There is a sewn rear rail cover that I am familiar with, but there is also a Bulk Welt 96" for rear rail. I don't understand where this 96" red piping goes. I found nothing on the Moss site. I tried calling for tech support but I think they may have been closed for the holiday.

There are two pieces of real leather, Bulk Leather to Cover Door Top Rail. I am assuming that I am supposed to remove the current vinyl and replace with this leather. There are also real leather door handle covers. If I cover the door handles I will also cover the two screws that hold the handle on. Do I have to cut holes where the screws go? For what this kit costs there should be at least some sort of instructions or photos.

If anyone can shed some light on installing this kit please give me a hand, Greg

are you referring to the "bulk welt" on the bottom left of your pics? that sure is a lot of it, but i know that about 2' of it is for the door rails, from the vent window back. only other think i can think of for the remainder is that it can go around the door panels themselves...just a guess on that one.

is this for a roadster or GT? or doesn't matter?

Edit
I was a bit off on the amount used for the rails. More like a foot total for both doors. In my car looking now. Pic attached

I think that red welt goes around the cockpit rim behind the seats. There is a black upholstered piece that wraps around that rim and I have a black welt mounted between the upholstered piece and the sheet metal. It would look nice in red. Doyou have that upholstered piece and enough new material to cover it? (Plus cover the door shoulder bolsters?)
