    Sorry Drew there is no easy way out mate. Getting someone in and they will have the same trouble, your seats are in the way of getting it shampooed

    4 bolts per seat! 16 bolts and all the seats are out

    Drying out after a swim?

    If you hose out I suggest to take the ECU out first and protect all the plugs

    I'm with Mudrunner in this one....no easy way out. Pull the seats and carpet....it will be the only way to prevent the nasty smells of rotting underlay.

    Daz,
    Once the seats are out, how easy is it to get the carpet out?
    I had an old Beemer that needed the carpet to come out as a leak had soaked the underlay. That was a c&$t of a job! Had to cut the carpet 'cause it was fixed to the firewall behind the heater core where I couldn't get to it.
    I'm guessing the GQ is a bit more functional though.

    Take the seats out, take off some trim pieces and it just lifts away!

    Yeah not that hard. You never know someone may well have had it out in a previous life. If its one big piece than I recommend cutting it across the car under the front seats and then you can remove the front section and deal with it and then the centre section in one piece to.

    If you have drawers then remove them and take the carpet out and leave it out. Refit your drawers without the carpet.

    Have fun mate.

    At the time you were so flippant about it but now I bet you are a bit wishing it never happened hey??

    The funny thing was that you said "The door seals are holding up really well" it's not until you get yanked out and open the door you see how bad it is....

    Hope it comes up all right and does not turn into a stink bomb!!!
