Automotive Carpet Replacement: Remove Heat Duct

Video Transcript

"Okay, what we want to do here is remove this other bolt from the back side of that lower bracket and then we can pull the bracket assembly out of the way and we'll have access to the duct, the heating duct for the passenger and driver seats. And we just keep sliding the bracket out, just kind of wiggle it free, and it comes out. We'll sit that aside with the bolts that go with it. And I'm sure it's getting harder for you to see but we have a heating duct back here. A black plastic duct assembly that has to be removed and then that will get this assembly, the rest of these components out of the way. We'll be just down to, one more segment to go and then we can remove the carpet. Okay, to remove the air duct it's going to be really hard for you to see this. So basically what we have is an upper tube, we have a center section that's about two inches long, and then the lower tube. We need to remove that center section. It's held in by a push pin at the top on each one of the corners. Well, we're going to remove the push pin and then we'll slide it up and pull it out. Okay, now I've got the other pin out. I just slide it down, push it back, pull it out and that's the little insert we need to remove from there. And that gives us clearance to slide the carpet up and over it. Okay, please watch the next segment and that will be the last segment before we get to removing the carpet. We're going to pull out this lock module that's located underneath the driver seat and the other item we have to pull off is we've got a cover up here that goes over the latch assembly for the rear latch and the fuel door latch."
