It's fiddly around there but if you're looking you can take it out without have to cut it.

Even if you do cut it (saves time) then you won't see it anyway once you put it back in.

It took me about an hour and a half from start to finish to get mine out, not a whole lot of work involved.. just abit annoying here and there.

I'd pour dye onto a cloth and rub it in (well, thats the way im going to do it!)

..Think we all like these black carpets!
