Removing carpet (ASAP)

[ItsAllAboutTheE30]

Hello all,

I was just wondering exactly what needs to be taken out in order for me to remove the entire carpet. Obviously the seats will have to come out. Beemerlad said in my other post that the centre console needs to be removed as well, is this correct? Just need to take it out for few days to let it dry, and probably give it a clean.

Also are there any clips or anything I have to worry about, or does it just pull away from the car when everything is out of the way?

Cheers
Dave.

front seats out, take black plastic sill covers off. un do the seat belt rail on the sill, center console out. under steering colum pannel off, that should do it. i will warn you its a bastard of a job, the carpet weighs a ton and the carpet gets stuck underneath the heater box and around the pedals so you my need to do a bit of neat cutting to get it out but when you put it back in again you wont be able to see what you have cut as it will be covered up by the center console etc. you probably can take it out in one go bit it will be a PITA

you will need to cut around where the steering column goes thru the floor also

Savage, gonna be a bit of a bitch to sort by the sounds of it. Never mind got a three day weekend to sort it out I guess. How does the centre console come out exactly? Is it just this bit, up to where all the heater and OBC is?
