Frank,

The door pillar to fender flange was woven grey. The door seal running as 
you describe would have been dark navy blue to go along with your interior.
The under seat runner packing pieces were a black painted steel strip on the 
bottom, covering the tarpaper and underlay. Then the upper packing piece was 
black oiled or wood sealed painted wood about 1/4" thick. These do not trap 
the carpet, rather the carpet is cut to go either side of the track and 
packers. The seat track studs pas down through all these layers where steel 
flat washers, lockwashers and sleeved nuts fasten all from below.
Why would you want to use plexiglass?

Rich
