How to take off the carpet on a dc4

[jeffreymui]

Hi guys i was wondering if i need to take the dash off before i can take the carpet out of my car? i know front seats need to be off for sure...but what else? thanks for the help guys

take off front seats , handbrake surround , lower section of centre console and you are 3/4 there. then take off the side parts of the lower door trim and thats pretty much it

No you dont.

Front and rear seats need to be out,
Lower section of the centre console needs to come out also ... all the way down towards the plastic surrounding the handbrake.

Also unbolt the foot rest in the driver side foot well (far left).

YOu should then be able to remove the carpet successfully.

foot rest yup forgot that. you will needto cut the carpet ,around the back of the centre console tosave time. u can take it out without cutting -

hey jeff u wont need to take the dash out u will deff need to take te seats out thats the obvious thing then hand brake cover , boot surrounding, kick pannels, pritty much all stuff on bolted to the floor will need to be removed u might need to remove back seat cause if i rembere correctly the carpet runs up underneth it abit u will aslso need to take the plastic cover off near the ecu as well i think same on the other side when that is all out u will see clikcs near the kick pannels just unclip it n take her out easy peasy it runs up behind the dash but its not bolted up ther it could be glued or just stuck up there u will get it ou no sweat ,, u might need to diconect the bottom of the dash under the stero becase i think there is support bolts down there sumwhere but u wont need to take it out u will just be able to wigle it up n over them hope that helps mate

Yeh, the bit of carpet that goes behind the centre console is joined... so my best bet is to cut it also haha.

yea, just cut it and once u put ur interior back in it will get covered, did this to my itr carpet to save a few mins lol

[jeffreymui]

so i cut around the centre?

[G-Stick]

just cut in the centre where u see fit. where ever it is stuck. once u get on it u will see where it is needed to be cut.

I just took my carpet out of my dc2 today, I only need to make 2 cuts.
One was under the handbrake, and the other was way at the front just left of the foot rest.

I also found it easier taking off the petrol and boot release panel box.
There was also 3 plastic push pins? i don't know the proper name under the rear seats, and make sure you take off the door sills.
