Hey guys,

What do I have to do to lift the carpet in front of the drivers seat? just enough so I can use a hair dryer under there? (now that water leak is mostly contained)

Thanks very much

remove kick panel (you need to pull away the door rubber to do this), remove plastic door sill trim (pops out) and the seat (4 nuts- one at each end of the runners). Then, I think, you should be able to pull it up. :D

Speaker panel, accelerator pedal and stop, and the door sill trim.
Remove the sill trim by tapping it forwards to expose as many clips as you can, lifting it clear of the clips, then tapping it backwards until it comes off the rest of the clips.
Throttle pedal isn't meant to be reused if it's removed, but in practice, can be removed undamaged with the aid of a medium, flat blade screwdriver.
