Carpet removal.

[RagingAsian]

So I have gotten smart and instead of trying to describe, I have pictures to ask with.



I need to remove the carpet for cleaning. ( going to have it pressure washed.) and I need to remove the fastners, without breaking them, as I would like to reuse them. Any Tricks?

Where is that carpet located??


Try putting a flathead under the carpet and try to GENTLY pry them up.

Behind the front seats.

Remember, I have nothing behind the front seats. No inner interior quarter panels, back seat, and nothing in the trunk.

all you need is a trim panel removal tool. It is flat and fork shaped with a wide slot in the center of it. You slide it under the head of the fastener and pry up carefully. Remember these clips are almost twenty years old, so they may stretch and break. Replacements can be purchased at most auto parts stores, although they will probly be black. They can be painted though, if need be.

one of these little kits should do the job and you should be able to pick one up on the cheap too, even if you only need it for this one time youll have it layin around next time ya wanna pull somethin

[RagingAsian]

Where do I get one of those kits?

[Gummiegorilla]

if you've got a harbor freight around ya, they sell them for like 10 bucks or somethin

But to install a 91 arm rest does the carpet need to be cut to slide in the mounting brakets?
Since we were on the carpet topic just thought id ask

[RagingAsian]
