Okay guys, the carpet replacement began this morning. It took me a couple of hours to get everything out of the car including the carpet. As it was the first time I am doing this job I was extra careful so as not to break any plugs or clips. Unfortunately, I did break one of the rear seat cushion plugs. Will be easy to replace.
The centre console was very easy to remove. After removing some trim up top and the seats, it is held down by 4 bolts on the side and five screws up top. There is a one connector that needs to be disconnected to get it out. Attached are some pics for your enjoyment.
I have cleaned the areas where the mould appeared with a diluted vinegar solution and a a scrubbing brush. Then I have wiped it down with clean water and a rag. The baking soda in the last shot is to dry out the are areas faster.
I am taking photos as I go along and will post a how to on this.
Do I put it on this forum or the how to forum?
If anyone has any questions on the process. Fire away.
Some shots I have taken.
1. Front passenger footwell just before clean.
2. Rear passenger footwell - before clean
3. Rear passenger footwell - after clean
4. Interior shot - White stuff on the passenger footwell is baking soda to dry out the
