Really easy to pull out. the first time I did mine I didn't know about cutting around the seat. I just pulled hard and it ripped. Its not in a noticeable spot. I put the carpet back in and cant even tell where it is. Its nice to have the carpet out for rain and stuff but just so hot and loud. The carpet really muffles the noise. I like to keep mine in and take it out when needed.

Does anyone know if bedlining it reduces the noise and heat? I would say it took me maybe 15-20 to get the carpet out and maybe 20-25 to get back in. I think the next time I will be faster.

 

Appreciate everyone's input

I got the passenger side out with no cutting... being careful it just slid out
I may have to make a small cut on the drivers side though... i'll post my results later on that.
*Weird when I checked the passenger carpet this morning after a night of hard rain it was damp to the touch on the top but not a drop of water beneath it... no water was on top of my weathertech liner either... must be a door seal problem

 

Thats what I did on my 07 ripped out the carpet had to make a couple cuts then tossed it. Now just waiting for a friend to help my Herculiner the intire floor boar inside!

 

where did you have to make the cuts at... where the front seat bolts are located? my drivers side seem to get stuck around that area, so I stopped pulling until I get time tonight.

 

Bedlining will not help with the heat an noise.

 

Here are some pics of the front carpets removed... I used a razor blade to make the cuts on the drivers side. I just cut around the seat frame where the front bolts are located and it made a perfect cut. Also, each carpet piece has 3 washer like fasteners that need to be removed too... you can't miss those. Another thing to note, when I removed the drivers side carpet, I noticed a tiny rust spot on the floor board ... I cleaned it up though and put some paint over it .

*Drivers Side Carpet (with cut marks in yellow)




*Passenger Side Carpet (no cutting necessary)


*Underneath Carpet

 

Thanks for the thread/pics. Just a matter of time before I have to pull mine and find the drain plugs... only in a Jeep!

 

Line x helped with noise on my Jk.

 

No problem .

 

THANKS FOR THE PICS X2 Jack Sparrow I went through about 50 post of people saying they needed to do a small cut and it was driving me crazy where they where talking about.


PICTURES OF 2012 REAR CARPET REMOVED



REMOVING REAR CARPET NOTES
The rear most 3 carpets where super easy to remove. The middle carpet that would be the rear footwell was a bit of a challenge (It's the third picture). Clearly you want to push the seats all the way up first. I had to make a small 1/4" cut on the passenger side where the carpet wrapped around the roll bar. It was pre-cut 90 percent of the way and pretty obvious where to do it. Also under the seats there is a small hole in the carpet that goes over a bot. Before you just pull out you'll want to put your hand under there and push it off there. You can see it on the picture pretty clearly near the bottom. There is a drain hole on each foot well back there. There is no doubt this middle carpet would be a major PITA to put back in.
