    Was the carpet stapled down on those rails along the front door? Is that a small piece of carpet left over on the driver's side rail?

      Had to look back to see what you meant, but yes, it’s stapled. But as you see how gross it was I ended up taking the plastic rails out and getting all of the left over out so it didn’t stink up the new carpet when I installed that. Luckily they just pop on and off the clips over the plastic water lines( or at least I believe there are water lines)

      @@Torres_Antonio And once you get out all the bolts, is the carpet just held in by a bunch of clips? I'm planning on doing this same thing this weekend.

      @@adamhlj yeah once you remove on the bolts from the seats and plastic trim, there’s a few spots that the carpet is hooked, like in the footwell area of the driver and passenger area.
      Then you would pull the plastic bracket that’s it’s stapled to and in a perfect world it would come off with and not rip.
      But just getting everything out is the part I went back and fourth catching small areas that were held on.
      I ended up replacing my carpet but to be honest if you have a pressure washer and enough sun or a vacuum to get the water out it’s worth doing that.
      All the carpet replacements have horrible figments so it’s a shame and not worth it in my opinion.
