Today I decided to rip the carpet out of the car and give it a good cleaning. It'* amazing what you can find under the center console and under the seats of a used car. Found a decent Casio calculator, a quarter, a pair of sunglasses and a receipt for the PO dated May 25 2001 in my hometown. No, I bought the car almost 3 years ago.

Sorry, didn't get pics of the seat removal. Center console was 2 nuts in the rear, and 2 bolts, and 2 screws in the front. Seats were 4 nuts each, and 2 big star bolts.

Here it is with no seats and no carpet...



Uh oh. Found a wet floor pan. I know where this is coming from...



Here is the dirty carpet...



I used my car wash brush that attaches to the hose. Has a built in liquid soap reservoir that I filled with laundry detergent.



Rinsed, and hanging on the kids swingset to dry in the wind and sun. Should be about 5 hours or so before its dry.



I'll post up pics when its dry to show the difference.

Questions?

Looks like a fun project! I had to unbolt the driver'* seat and pull up the carpeting in the Park Avenue to replace a faulty door lock relay a couple of months ago. Nice to have door locks that actually unlock again, lol!

Looking good! Did you have much trouble getting the carpet out? You have me thinking about doing this to my car now...

That is a huge job that didn't have to be done, very motivating to see it done, great job!

It really wasn't all that hard to do. Kinda tedious I guess. A few common hand tools and all the seats were out. I didn't even have to pull any of the door jam trim pieces to get it out. It just pulled right out.

Looks like a nice project!

Taking carpet out to clean is always such a joy lol.

Sometimes when I do that I run it right up to the local car wash and use the pressure washer, works great

And the nice thing is you usually find enough money under the carpet to pay for using the pressure washer.
