I may be too blurry-eyed and lacking cognitive thought.... be kind.
I also searched, but didn't come up with an answer. How do I remove the original carpet piece that has the grommet going though the U-Joint steering column/rack? Do I have to drop the rack? Seperate the U-Joint? Ideas for path of least resistance appreciated. Apologies in advance if this is a dumb question! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Greg |

If you have great original carpet, you want to take apart a joint and do it right. If it’s driver quality, I would just make a cut in the carpet.

That's the big question I'm wrestling with. Definitely drivers quality. But think it could clean up nice and be a solid 8 out scale of 10. Question - to preserve carpet in-tact, do I have to drop the steering rack; or do I tackle it from the steering column / u-joint? |

I’m not sure on that. But I have taken carpet to the commercial cleaners with the big washer and run it through. Came out looking like new. Alternate is to pretreat and then take to the commercial car wash and use high pressure soap to blast dirt out. |
