Re: interior strip

Start with the screws and keep going.Make sure you separate them by each part your removing,ex.baggies would work well.just mark the bags.

Very important, as was said, to bag and label. For tools, in addition to screwdrivers, you'll need a small Torx bit set as well as a 10mm and under socket set.

Re: interior strip

seat belt bolts should soak in some pentrating oil after the carpets out if you have ugly floors, even if you dont. and yeah labeling is important eventually youll become a champ at it after awhile and just remember

Re: interior strip

Start at the back and move forward, this will be the easiest way to get everything out. Seat belts are a T-47 torx, if you use a T-45 you are much more likely to strip the bolts out.
