How do I remove under carpet padding?
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2004 RX330 and last night my wife left the front passenger window down and it rained! Now the front and rear passenger carpet are wet. How do I lift the carpet so that I can pull out the padding underneath to dry them out? Thanks in advance.

Of course you need to remove the scuff plates, kick panels and the seats. When i wired my aftermarket stereo, I also wanted to remove the carpet but I could not because the carpet is clipped/stapled to plastic mounts which are firmly locked into the body. I was afraid that I will damage those so I could not get the carpet off. Haven't seen a step-by-step guide on this site on how to remove the carpets but if i find it, i'll post it.

I ended up removing just the front and rear pasenger seats since teh driver side was dry. It was not that bad and I am not that good with DIY. I found the hardest part was the rear seat. You definitely will need a long extension for the rachet. The carpet is definitely harder to remove than my 2007 GS350.

I just break the staples that were holding the carpet to the clip since they were rusted. When I re-install the carpet I re-stapled the carpet back using my plier type stapler.
