Removing Highline Carpet

Post by ONO5OH »

I'm currently in the process of trying to remove the carpeting from a '89 but it appears that it may be more difficult to remove than I had originally anticipated. It looks like I may need to remove the rear A/C and possible additional removal in the front. Does anyone have any insights?

#2 - shot slightly further away from under the center console near A/C unit

#3 rear A/C unit

It is a one-piece carpet so it's best to remove everything in the way. The other way is to cut it underneath the front heater/air con. unit.

Thanks Ron, I ended up just cutting it. Had a hard time with the gas pedal as well, looks like it's attached to a bracket in the floor but I couldn't figure it out. I ended up making another cut.
