Most of the new gas tank carpets have clips across the top to go over the cardboard. If you use these you will sometimes see the edge of the carpet. So I will raise the carpet a little higher and fold it over the cardboard then push it back under the lip so it fits tight. Hope this is understandable. I do not have a picture at this time of it.

That's a good way to do it or use a crimp on windlace in a contrasting color or a matching color. Bring the carpet up flush with the top of the cardboard backer then crimp this over the top of the raw edge.
