Front Carpet Removal
Open the roof, remove the roof side bars, remove the seats using a Torx 45 screwdriver and unbolt the seatbelt from the seat side using a 17mm hexagon socket. If you have seat heaters or side airbags then you need to disconnect those too.

Just under the handbrake is a cap, lever this out and remove the Torx 15 screw underneath. At the back of the handbrake surround is a catch that slides out as shown. Pull the gear knob off (don’t twist and don’t press the button as you pull).
