Carpet removal how to
 

Hi everyone

My carpet got very wet last weekend in the car wash when i found my plenum drain was blocked. The amount of water under the carpet means i need to take the carpet out. I was wondering if there is a how to on removing the carpets but i can not find out does any know of one or is it worth me making one when i take carpet out next weekend.

Thanks

Alex

I don't think there's a how to,

But having taken a carpet out once but i was braking the car so did't have to refit it :)
it's not something i would like to have to do and refit, the main work is removal of the centre console which has lots of equipment that needs to be taken off / undone.

Couple of pictures from Alex's thread.

It's very straight forward...

You need to remove
4 door sill trims
Both front seats
Rear seat base (lift it up)
Centre console
front kick panels
Foot rest
both lower dash panels
Lower seatbelt mounting bolt and trim.

(I think that's about it)



You'll need possibly 2 other people to help you lift it out.....they're heavy enough when dry

It's the Centre console part that is the pain ;)

Can you list everything that needs to be removed so that can be removed :)

Stereo / Head unit comes out, and there are 2 screws there

two 10mm bolts in the rear ashtray/holder
two screws at he side down by the seat belt buckle.
Remove gear knob / gaiter
Remove handbrake gaiter

Unplug the grey multi connector as you lift it up.
I think that's about it.

that looks like my car tonight.
just have to refit when dry.:(

I have one too! (OK, I was busy adding wiring, hence it is somewhat less tidy.

look's like you know what your doing,
unlike myself where I hate wiring as I get:confused:
have read the how to, so should be ok.
