Question How to take the carpet off?

OK guys.... so Im having trouble taking off the carpet from my FD.. I really have no idea on how to pull it off.. So I took of the seats, bins and everything else you can think of since im striping my interior. I just cant get the carpet off. Im having trouble taking it off from under the dash part.. under the a/c controls, radio part.. I would really appreciated if someone could help me out. THANKS!!

The carpet under the dash is acutally glued in very well under it, I didn't feel like pulling the dash and I just trimmed it around the dash

Do get it out without cutting it, you have to take out the front dash...pretty much literally strip out the whole interior cept the headliner. I might be able to help out if your in houston.

carpet removal PIA!

If you want to do it right and not cut the carpet so you can reuse it or sell it you have to take out the dash and all the HVAC boxes. Unfortunately you will have to get the AC refrigerant pumped out and stored. NOT fun.
