Replacing Carpet I was wondering what is involved in replacing all of the carpet including hatch area and also the headliner. Do i need a professional or just a weekend with some friends. Also what has to be removed to do this.

Open door. Look at carpet. Everything on top of carpet, needs to be removed prior to carpet removal.
Seats, seat belts, center console, and most plastic panels needs to be removed/lifted up and or away.
Headliner is easy, open doors and hatch. Remove sail panels, remove A-panels (if you're a T-top... not sure what you gotta do with that), remove dome light and slide out the back.
Obviously, install is reverse of removal.
Can be done alone within a couple of hours. Easier with friends...maybe.

if youre doing carpet and headliner... every single nut, bolt and piece of ANYTHING attached to the interior (except door panels and dash assy.) has to be removed. do the front, then the rear, then do the middle.. it is layered kind of... I have done this many many times.. hehe.. Its easy but kind of time consuming to make sure you dont break any of that cheap *** plastic **** called "fbody interior"...
