How to Remove the Octavia Carpet?

First, you need to remove the car seats. When removing the car seats, prepare the necessary tools such as sockets and pliers. Start by taking off the rear seats, then unscrew the two screws at the door sill area and pull out the sealing strip. Use tools to forcefully pry open the cover on the B-pillar. Continue with the disassembly, and when removing the clips, some effort will be required to pull them apart.

Remember last time helping my neighbor remove the Octavia's carpet, it had to be done step by step. First, prepare a Phillips screwdriver and a socket wrench, and turn off the car's power to avoid short circuits. The front seats have four bolts—use the wrench to loosen them, then carefully lift the seats, as there are wire connectors underneath that need to be gently unplugged. Fold down the rear seats and remove the retaining clips. Next, pry off the door sill trim; the carpet is held by plastic hooks, so pry them off slowly to avoid breaking them. Once done, pull out the carpet and check the floor for stains or rust, and take the opportunity to vacuum clean the area. The whole process should be steady—don’t rush—and having someone help hold the seats makes it safer.

I've removed the Octavia's carpet myself and found it to be a fun DIY project. The tools are simple: just a screwdriver and a pry bar will do. Start with the seats—loosen and remove the front seat bolts, being careful not to damage the sensor wires. The rear seats need to be lifted off by releasing the clips. The carpet edges are hooked onto the body pillars; gently pry them loose with the bar. Pull the carpet slowly to avoid tearing. After removal, it's a good time to check for any water accumulation or odors underneath. Clean it thoroughly before considering a replacement. The whole process takes about one to two hours, and the car feels much fresher afterward.

Removing the Octavia's carpet is not difficult. The first step is to remove the seats: the front seats have four bolts, which can be loosened and removed with a screwdriver. The rear seats can be folded down and the clips removed directly. The carpet is secured with hooks along the door edges and near the center console; carefully pry them open. When pulling it out, avoid using excessive force to prevent damage. Handle any wiring with care. The entire process only requires basic tools like a screwdriver, making it simple and efficient. Once removed, you can also clean out accumulated dust inside, improving the air quality in the car.
