Boot fully lined with underlay. The carpet still sits flat

 

 

First panel to remove is the middle one. Pull carpet up to reveal two plastic nuts

 

 

The nuts aren’t tight so just used pliers to get it going then unscrewed by hand

 

 

There are two plastic plugs at each end on the centre trim, pull the centre pin out first then the plug can be removed.

 

 

Pull the bottom of the trim out and up to pop the spring clips out from the slots in the chassis

 

 

Rear pillar trims require removal to gain access to rear arch trim bolts. Pull from rear first, again metal spring clips hold it on

 

 

 

Pull down from the top corner nearest the window, moving down to the bottom corner. Add a bit of underlay when refitting.

 

 

 

To get the side trims out

Bottom left to top right -

T25

T10

Flat head

Light (one end needs to come out before the other)

T25

T30

T25

 

 

Bottom corner of back seats have another plug to pop out

 

 

Once all the screws are removed, pull the trim away from the back. Pad out behind the trim with underlay filling all the gaps so it pushes against the trim but not so much it doesn’t allow the trim to sit back square to the screw holes. Now the trims are off, put the underlay down over the whole boot.

 

 

Pop the back panel off, there is a T25 screw near the pull handle which needs removing, pad out with underlay.

 

 

Door trims. There are two T30 nuts under the door handle cover, the cover will just pull off. There is a  T10 at the bottom of the door card, two T10s for the front cards.

 

 

To remove the rear winders, set at 7 or 5 and pull the spacer out.

 

 

I ran out of the other underlay so got a bit more stuff from BnQ and with spray adhesive stuck it to the door cards.

 

 

Bit more underlay added to the door.

 

 

To get the underlay under over the floor pan, the side trims and front seats need taking out. Front seats are on 4 M10 spline bolts.

Pull the pillar trim away, its on metal spring clips again. Dont take the top one out as its got an air bag under it.

 

 

Pull the base of the trim up. Its got three spring clips at the bottom and one guide pin.

 

 

When re fitting, add a strip of underlay behind the trim.

 

 

Pull the front sill trip up

 

 

 

T25 screw behind the bonnet release. This allows each side of the carpet to be pulled up and more underlay added as one whole strip from under rear seat to under the dashboard.

 

 

Didn’t take the seats out again so haven’t got a shot of how the underlay looks with the whole carpet up but you can get the idea.

 

When putting things back together, here are a few things that help.

 

Open up the spring clips before re fitting to keep everything tight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the clips get stuck in the body, pull out with a pair of scissors.

 

 

 

 

Hope this guide helps people. I had aready put a load of the underlay in the car before i took these pictures so some of them dont show the full view of the underlay iv added.

 

If any more info is needed on how i did things just shout up.

 

It wasnt difficult to get all the trims off but sometimes a good pull was needed. If  any of the trims wont budge at all theres a good chance that youve missed a screw somewhere.

 

Cheers for reading

 

Can anyone reupload the pictures?

Same question as above.

I posted a thread recently (about 3mths ago) with my soundproofing.  Wasn’t too difficult, although the side panels on the combi are a bit of a PITA.
