how hard is it to pull out the carpet to wash and dry? i'm having serious doubts that the dealership will do a clean job and am wondering if i should just do it myself?

 

[falcon]

anybody?

i'm almost sure the dealership screwed me over by selling me a car with a leak and carpet that's been wet for who knows how long

Well it is a little overkill. You need to take out the front seats and the consoles. Then I beleive you need to unbolt the seatbelts. The edges are just tucked under the side panels and under the backseats. Should be able to pull that out. When not rent a cleaning machine and do it with it in the car?

It will be a pain in the ass.

That's about it. It's really not that bad, Amy. I did this like a month ago because my interior got flooded. The worst part was installing my new carpet 'cause I had to cut all the holes. But just removal/re-installation should be a piece of cake---assuming you've taken the center console out before. And even if you haven't, it's still pretty easy.

I never said it was that bad. But it still is a pain in the ass.

did you not buy the OEM one from Honda because that one comes with holes already cut because i had to install a carpet from online in my Buddy's hatch. I was going to go insane it was a pain in the ass to cut the carpet perfect.
