My carpet (hatchback) has that bulge after removing the rear part of the lapbelt retractor. No one sits there...so it's not a big deal to me.

With the belts you have 2 options. You can try to find a longer shoulder bolt to mount the swivel/pulley on the outside of the panel (and drill a small hole into the plastic), or you can cut out a square chunk of plastic and let the belt swivel rotate flush with the panel. I was impatient and am doing the second option. I'm also building a custom metal frame for the opening I cut out to make it look slightly more finished.

My advice to you would be to take the shoulder bolt into a specialty bolt shop and see if they can find you something that is 1-1.25 inches longer.
