How difficult to remove carpeting?
#2
Not that difficult. I didn't actually remove the whole thing, but I removed all the kick panels and rear quarter panels and the carpet just comes right up. You'll have to unbold the seats if you want to get in there too. The only are I'm not sure about is the console.

its not that hard at all.just make sure to mark or remember which seat bolts came from what spot.you have to also take out the door sill panels,and front kick panels.but really not that hard,you'll be amazed at all the crap that you will find under the carpet!! good luck.

should be just a matter of removing everything that is in the way of getting it out. My guess would be seats, maybe some interior panels...hmmm a few other things...shouldnt be too hard

^^^^^^ like he said. You have to use a flat head screwdirver to loosen them and then pry it off the floor. The clips usually break so make a trip to the wrecker and pick 2 more up. They never tighten down the way they used to but it isn'y very loose either. Over time you don't notice it.

You might check out this one, too: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...ght=home+depot The carpet padding from Home Depot sounds affordable and seems to work well. Plus, should make the carpet feel better underfoot.
