W210 front passenger foot well carpet slit

[M.A.94]

I've noticed that the front passenger side foot well carpet on my w210 has a slit on the edge. I was wondering if this has been done after or if this is how they all are.

Also does the plastic trim go above or under the carpet. As mime currently is under.

See image for reference.

That's how they all are. One piece of the carpeting is roughly the same shape as the floor mat, you can take it out and access whatever electronic guts there are in the footwell. The other piece of carpet fits around the center console.

The footwell carpet goes over the plastic cover, yes.
