e30, new carpet & retrofitted heated seats, pics ...
so,
followed Ferdinand's advice and cut a little off., thanks. there were oem pre-cut starters, perhaps it was a replacement carpet. some of the highlights include... - removing accelerator pedal bottom section from floor, push-in lower tabs, pull upwards and it will release. - removing accelerator stop peg, very easy, but a must do prior to carpet install. - also, retrofitted wire harness for heated seat, very easy too, just ran it alone existing window switch harness. Positive comes from power block to the left of steering column, unique connector to unique receptor, can't miss, to the left of RD/GR & WH/PL. negative mates with other grounds in same general area. no relays involved. - figuring out wire mesh for extra gauges, hahhaha, i don't label nuthings :) - and last but not least, a snaped soft top lid handle, it feel apart, hahahha., good times :) have a ton of pics, posting links to them and a few actual images of the mid morning ordeal, sorry but sun shined hard at times so there's glare towards he end.

Do you have to take out the dash when you change the carpet?

dash overlay
Thanks for the pics and the write up! Not to high jack the thread but I couldn't help but notice that you have a dash overlay. How is that in real life? I have a crack in my dash and don't want to go through the ordeal of replacing the wholde dash. Would you recommend it or are you thinking of a dash replacement at some point?
Your carpet replacement thread has inspired me to make that happen in my fixer upper. Thanks. |
Nica job! Looks like carpet comes out pretty easy?
Pretty much my whole interior needs replacing, seats, carpet, dash and center console. Hope to do all in one weekend, after finding all parts. |
