Carpeting and battery box access

I have purchased a carpet that is designed to fit from the firewall to the rear cab wall. I will have to trim for the pedals and floor shifter but have begun to question how I will handle access to the battery box.

While I have a brand new battery in there and likely won't need access right now, at some point I might. The carpet is designed to fit right up to the door trim strip and be mounted underneath the trim strip. If I do that, then to get to the battery I'd need to take the trim screws out and that sounds like a pain in the neck.

I know many of you have relocated the battery under the hood and don't have this problem. But for those of you with the battery in the under floor battery box, how do you handle the carpet and access?
