"Okay, in this segment we're going to cover removing this lock module underneath the driver's seat, and then we've got a cover assembly for our latches that we need to remove, and then we'll be ready to replace the carpet. To remove this module, we're going to take a Phillip's screw out, and then we just have to disconnect the electrical connector by pushing on the center release, and it just separates. We'll take this and the screw that mounts it, and keep them in a safe location. The cover assembly right here is for the rear latch assembly and fuel door cover. It's got a little access panel right here where you just pop the little screwdriver underneath it, pry it up, and there'll be a Phillip's screw there. We'll remove it, and then the cover assembly should just kind of snap out. This way we don't break them free. After I got the screw out, then you have to pull the handle assemblies off, and they just slide off. Once you got those two off, we can just pull the assembly up, and slide it out--set all these components together, the screw that came out. Now we've got everything out of the way. Our next segment will cover the actual removing the carpet."
