What I Did Today

January 7th, 2007

My car has become quite grody over the last four years. No amount of car wash vacuuming was getting the carpet free of all the dirt. There was a collection of dust in the areas around the console unreachable due to the seats. Then last week I had a Aha! moment. THE SEATS! Take out the seats.

After some investigation under the passenger seat and a short brainstorming session, my plan was in place. Today I implemented that plan. I took out the passenger seat and did a massive detail job on the carpeting, console, back seat, and headliner. From last-bolt-out to last-bolt-in this took three hours. Pics of what this looked like are attached.

The passenger seat was ridiculously easy to get out and back in without help. The driver seat will be a little more complicated to get out, if at all. It is a six-way power-adjustable seat, which makes me suspect there is a motor under there. It may be too complicated to just unbolt. Maybe I can do it next weekend.

Oh, by the way…
