whats the fastest way to remove the carpet in a xj?

 

lots of redbull maybe? haha

start unbolting seats and consoles and trim around the floor.

 

unbolt the seats and rip it right out

 

punch a hole in the forward most part, tie a rope to a tree and through the hole then drive away.
(im kidding i don't actually recommend this method)

 

remove seat console and seat belts i did it took me less than 45 mins to do it

 

oh and the plastics siding the put the carpet up behind it

 

i like this one lol thanks guys

 

Rip her out, bub!

Doesn't take that long, just remove the seats and any trim pieces that the carpet is underneath. 45 minutes sounds about right.

 

i think that's how im going to do it. i visualized it and i cant see anything going wrong.

 

get a razor knife, a set of sockets/wrenches and your ipod, cd player or if your old school your record player. lol just kidding. go to town on her. i took out the carpet in the cargo area yesterday, cuz of rust, and it only took about 15-20 mins.

 

lol that would kinda work and kinda not . i think its hella funny but not practical

 

Burn it?

 

I have tried that ... it does not work.

 

Applies to at least my 2000 xj

Seats 4 bolts each, 13mm on 3 bolts, 18 or 19mm on 1

Trim on front and rear doors - Phillips head screw driver or drill

Front kick panels - deep 11mm socket IIRC

Center console - two screws in the storage compartment. Pull the shifter head off (give it a good yank). Pop off the shifter panel and transfer case panel off with your fingers or flat head screw driver, underneath should be some miscellaneous screws.

Yank the e brake up and shimmy the center console out. Then pull out the heat/ac duct. You may need a torx 50 for the seat belts, and at the base of the rear seat there is a plastic clip on each side. You can pop them out with a flat head. Pulling the carpet may need some muscle to get it up and over the e brake.

 

you could try gasoline . to burn it and i like it better with out carpet
