Carpet removal

[mattman]

Hi all,

I'm trying to remove the carpet from drivers side 2000 986 Boxster after clearing plugged drivers side drain but can't seem to figure out what to remove. I do not wan to cut the carpet but must get everything dry before reinstalling security box and drivers seat. I ordered Bentley service manual but it won't arrive for a week or so. Any help on step by step instructions is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

The carpet in the cockpit is all one piece. Most people will cut it into 2 right down the middle to ease the removal/reinstall.

To remove, at a minimum, you'll have to take both seats out, the rear console and I presume the center console too. Additionally, you need to remove the door sill trim (both sides) and footwell kick panels and most likely the firewall carpeting too and the carpeted wings from the firewall to the door sill. There might be some specific directions here available by doing a search. You can probably piece what you need together by reviewing:

rear speaker kit installs

short shifter kit installs

center console delete installs.

Otherwise, check out 6speedonline or boxsterspecracing.org. I'm sure many members there have removed them and posted good directions. Incidentally, if your carpet is beyond repair, you might check out the classifieds there for some replacement.

Good luck :)

Thanks for the quick reply...found some stuff on removing the center console but not on the other areas needed...Guess I'll try and dry this out with a fan after pulling up what I can.
