What the best way to remove the carpet without damaging it?

If you don't want to cut it then it's a dash out job as far as I know.

 

at each side of the centre console there is two struts that bolt the support bat that's behind the dash,

as these are bolted through precut holes in the carpet they will need to be removed first and the only

Way to fully get into these is to completely remove the dash.

 

heres a pic of the dash removed and you can just see the two struts that need to be unbolted.

 

the carpet runs under the centre console and is a tight fit all the way back to the bulkhead .

I have just done mine last week. Its not to bad got rid of grey and put in a nice black.

Was more concerned with the glued in bit at the back

Mine wasn't glued but is tacked at a few strategic places.

 

if it's glued then possible yours has already been pulled up and stuck down again.

Haven't checked this one, but my last one was and it didn't come out undamaged
