Finally getting some time off. Working on carpet removal.

So far so good. I am trying to figure out 2 things.

1) How to removal the acc pedal?
2) Cutting the carpet under the heater/dash seems to be the easiest, but where do I cut? Any diagrams?

Thanks. I should have a beir whilst I ponder.

The pedal has wedgie type plastic retainers on the tab that goes through the carpet and into the floor. I pried the base of the pedal straight up with a screwdriver in several places and it snapped back in after reinstalling the carpet. You also have to take a clip off of the top and slide out the rod that goes through the firewall.
I cut the carpet after removing the console leaving the least amount I could under the A/C heater box. There was plenty to tuck back under the console.

Thanks Clay.

Let the prying begin!

I pryed and pryed. Nothing except I think I am deforming the plastic. Any suggestions?
