Guest ralphy1 Posted February 28, 2007 is it difficult to remove and refit carpets,so i can locate leaks,and dry and clean them?how much work is involved e.g.removing seats etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted February 28, 2007 Not particularly difficult. You'll likely need a torx head bit for the bolts that hold the seat subframes down. Handbrake trim can be a bugger if the screws have corroded in place. Lower centre console can also be a bit of a pain to pull out but you just have to get medieval on it's ass.

RobMGti 0 Posted February 28, 2007 Very easy, pretty much as GLPoomobile said above - id also watch out for the sound deadening under the dash getting damaged as you take the carpet out as its a pain to replace. This may be better asked under the 'Body, Interior & Ice' Section Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fencer 0 Posted March 2, 2007 (edited) pulling them out is no big deal. its putting them in that is time consuming. i had to use a Spanner adn a screw bit to do so as i could not find such small ratchets (actually the height was the problem) Edited March 2, 2007 by fencer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted March 2, 2007 Ratchet spaner with torx drive bit in it, is so good for removal/refitting of seats, as it's only as tall as the torx drive bit itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
