Automotive Carpet Removal: Part 2

Video Transcript

"Okay, in this segment we're going to cover removing the interior carpet, part two. First we have to remove, you've got a little footrest pedestal here for your left foot. There's a rubber cover over here, if you grab it by the bottom and just peel up the bottom it pulls right off. And then it's going to be held in place by two ten millimeter bolts, or actually the heads will be ten millimeter, probably be about a six millimeter. We just need to remove those two and then the carpet will come out. Okay with the footrest pedestal out of our way, we'll just go ahead and peel down the carpet from back here. On the sides it's held in by a little clip, on the seam where the unit body is welded together. We just want to pry that up. And we're just going to go all the way around. Now we'll switch to the other side. Following the same procedure. Get the door open... there we go. Make sure you pull the wires down through the holes. Once we've got it up and loose, I'm going to fold it over to the middle, kind of, and what I'm going to need to do is pull it up and back and lift it up over this heat deck and kind of slide it through this section here. Okay, now we just kind of roll it all up to the middle and lift it out. Up over your brake assembly. Switch sides. Okay, same procedure over here. Just got to fold it up, and then we're just going to want to slide it out one of the door openings. Okay, there we go, we've got our carpet up and out. What I'm going to do now is take a few minutes and I'm going to get the environment all cleaned up, give it a good thorough vacuuming. Please watch our next segment, and we'll pre-fade and install the new carpet."
