Interior Stripping

[bubba]

Got my 1st bmw sat but the inside is really messy so ive taken the seats out and the centre console to give the carpets and seats a very good clean before putting back in.

Make sure they're completely dry before you put them back in mate... I rushed mine and had constant FOG inside for a few weeks :unsure:

Looking gooooood B)

I hired out a Karcher wet vac from HSS Hire. Water in one side, it squirts it onto the carpet/seats and than has a industrial vacuum to get it all up again. Got about 4 buckets worth of MUD out of my 24 year old BM :) £23 for the day with Piggy discount

well after getting my car on sat and after the woman saying that there are clips missing in the windows that y they pop out of the runners, i took the doors apart after work to find out its not clips but some off the mechanism has split. So not sure if to weld back together or are they easy to take off the door and put new 1s on.
