Well I searched extensively for a removal DIY with no real luck. Here is my attempt
1) Remove front seats 4 bolts each remember the wire on the driver side
2) Remove rear seat ( you can do this last and have something to rest on in the meantime. Pop the bench out Two 10mm bolts at the bottom each side hold in the seat back. They are hidden under some fabric. Then lift up of the two back hooks - takes some strength
3) Remove Parking brake boot lift from front
4) Remove rear console: remove ashtrays one 10mm bolt at back then lift from back
5) Remove front console: Pop out shift boot Remove ashtray and the two screws remove the two trim plugs one on each side ar the front near the fire wall. I had a screw in to the passenger side that needed to be removed from the inside. I had to pry up the left side and squeeze my hand in with a screw driver to get it - it was a b****
6) Remove the front speaker panels. One screw and pull
7) Loosen the trim peice with the seatbelts. Two trim plugs each at the bottom.
Door sills. I did not get these out and broke one trying to pull them out. I ended up just pulling the carpet out from underneath them. I still need to figure this part out but you do not need to remove them to remove the carpet
9) OK start at the back and pull the carpet away from the sides. The foam is bonded to the back of the carpet so it can be awkward. You should be able to free the carpet everywhere except the gas pedal and the metal bar that holds up the dash.
10) Gas Pedal: Pry out the circlip on the linakge behind the pedal and pull the connection apart. Look at the back of the gas pedal you may have a clip that you can push down on and release the pedal. On mine there was no clip and I ended up pulling the carpet over the pedal.
11) Unscrew remove the clutch and gas pedal stops
12) There are a couple of grommets on the sides near the back of the front seats. One was missing on mine and the other I just pulled the carpet over.
12) Your carpet is now free except for the metal post and the front portion. In my searches people said to cut the carpet at this point. I did for but would have been able to pull it out from under the heater box. - Some claimed they couldn't. I would try to pull it out first. The post would be easy to disconnect I think if you were not cutting the carpet.
Thats it the capet can be removed. With the large amount of foam it is awkward but it comes out. This is from memoory but I did this 5 days ago jsut feelign my way forward so you shoudl be good to go. I found a floor in very good condition although with soaked foam under the driver mat that has taken a couple of days to dry out.
The rear peice of carpet just lifts out if you have the back bench removed
You can ask about installation tomorrow. I think the foam will be dry enough to reinstall this afternoon. It was painted this morning
