-Pic 1 shows how the kick panel protrusion causes the floorliner to be raised roughly 1-3/4" to 2" off of the carpet.

-Pic 2 shows what the kick panel looks like and you can see the worn area where the floorliner rests upon it.

-Pic 3 shows a side-by-side comparison of the floorliner I purchased and the Engineering sample that you had sent out. You can see that they are identical even though the one you sent had apparently had attempted to be modified. The best option is going to be to raise the "floor" in the area where the kick panel causes the issue and not try to go around this area; as the kick panel's protrusion is of a "ramped" protrusion.

If you would also remove the entire area that is there for the Tahoe Manual Floor Shifter since the Hummer does not come with this as an option. I hope you can find this is a do-able option as the Kick Panel issue should be enough of concern to justify the H2 having it's own uniquely designed floorliner.

In the Floorliners current state, you have to push down on the floorliner to make it go flush downward with the carpet after entering the vehicle. This causes the side-wall to bend over and would allow liquids to pour out of the liner. It also tends to rise upward on it's own because of the kickpanel and is causing wear on the kick panel as can be seen in the photo 3.
