What are some of the solutions you have tried and had success with? I generally roll my edges over the lids of the decks and doors and simply run a line of staples but this is unsightly and I still have to trim frayed edges. I have never tried any products before. Never thought to look until today since I am embarking on another boat redo.

If the carpet is a nylon or similar you can use a small torch lighter to just slightly melt any edges not exposed, as it's not perfect, but really works. Good carpet glue should keep it in place.

This worked for some spots I had.
