Default Drivers side carpet......

I didnt do it! It was like it when I got the car and the nice guy from Honda promised he would get it sorted before I collected the car but it turned out that he lied! Anyway, I just got Muz mats to cover the hole but as time has gone on I have thought about getting a 2nd hand carpet in good nick and replacing it. I have 2 questions, first can someone give me an idea where to get one, ebay has a couple but I'd like to try other sources if poss. 2nd question is, has anyone replaced their carpet and how easy / hard is it to do? Whats involved?

Cheers

Steve

straight forward to remove; remove the drivers seat, kick panel and sill trim.
the carpet is held in with trip clips - many of them. they sometimes break, but you can get to all of them once you refit the car back together if you need to buy parts after you've done the job.
the carpet stops on the under-side of the center console tunnel.

30mins and it should be out!

I need to do the same.

The seats are simple, 4 bolts. Push the seat all the way back, there are two in the front. Then push it forward and there are 2 at the back.

dont forget to disconnect the SRS wiring and speaker connection under the seat before you pull the seat out
