Can Anyone Tell Me If There Are Any Pitfulls Or Links Ect To Remove Interia ,seats Carpet Basiclly Anything On The Floor As My Car Needs To Have Some Welding Done Next Weekend And Id Rather It Was Removed . :)

just take your time over it if you wanna reuse the parts. Theres lots of hidden bolts etc.

Front seats are straight forward, four bolts each, and electrical connectors for electric seat and for seat belt claps, other than that no problem. Raer seats are even easier, for the back it's ..... drop seat forward, prise up boot carpet, then remove four 10mm bolts, then remove seat back. For the base, pull up from the front, as there are just two pull-clips holding it at the front, and nothing at the rear.

Then you can get access to the rear section of the carpet. For the sides, you have to remove the tread plates in the doorways.

Now comes the tricky part, you've got to remove the centre consol to remove the carpet completely.....

 

To remove radio console...

2 x Phllpis screws behind trim plate above radio.

2 x Phillips screws behind 2 little plastic fill pieces either side of top fixed vent

Once all out, prise plate forward gently, then remove the clok wiring. Hopefully radio is fixed to the proper mounting plate behind and NOT attached to the front plate!. Place in a safe place.

 

Remove ash tray (pulls up) remove screw below this, also remove the two screws at the front, below the radio section. Then gently lift this away , but first dissconnecting the electrical connections for the electric mirrors (if you have them) and cigar lighter etc.

 

To remove the centre armrest console....

Follow order of removing items as in the pic attached....

1) Pulls off.

2) Two screws in middle, and two screws at the bottom.

3) Two screws behind item 2 above, and two below the centre (gear stick) panel.

4) No need to remove this one.....

5) Very tricky, two nuts underneath, then remove the righthand side screw inside that attaches to the lowering dampener. Then twist box to remove it.

6) Two screws behind glove box that you have just removed, and two screws below gear stick panel.

7) Lift lid, pull carpet piece from the front to reveal four screws, remove these and then the two at the front of the section just to the rear of the gear stick.

 

You should now have access to all of the carpet. I'm not sure if you need to remove anything else, as I've never removed the carpet, but I think anything else that may be in the way will be self-explanetery from this point on.

 

 

 

Hope that all helps
