colsoop Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Im putting sound proofing on the drivers side of the car today and i need to get the carpet up, the problem is the foot rest. there are 2 covers on the footrest, i assume there are screws beneath them, i tried plucking them off with a small flat bladed screw driver but they wont budge. Any one done this before who can advise thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Cheers for confirming that. Its probably me being too soft with the screwdriver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprab1 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hi lads, i'm stuck with this one now. I've tryed with a flathead screwdriver but its just making bits of them. Do you have to give them a half turn or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to give them a half turn or anything? There is no screws holding the footrest.Not on mine anyway.Bit tricky to get off first time but get something decent under like a pry bar etc.Don't be gentle P.S are we talking about an auto Supra here??

SupraHuman Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Ok mate thanx for the reply Jokes aside,if they just spinns,any chance you can get something under to gently put some pressure on the footrest while turning the screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 When I took mine off I applied pressure to the base of the whole foot rest and turned the screw heads which moved the foot rest up the two screws, which are incidentally attached to the floor itself. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Blyth Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I removed my footrest by pulling the whole thing off. Brute force and ignorance is what this job needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Took mine off today, no screws, simply pulled it off, same with the car i did last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yeh that, dont mess with the plastic screws, just yank it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 i'm sure i turned the plastic caps half a turn anti clockwise so the pattern is out of sync. . . Then the footrest just lifts off. However, I removed it a while ago so my memory may a little off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I removed it a while ago so my memory may a little off! Thats right Dan If you rip it off it can shred the plastic screw caps - they're only £1.20 a peice (x2 req'd) to replace from Toyota, but could save a pints worth of cash by being a bit more careful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the second 1 i screwed off and just kept pressure on the back of the rest and it came off that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
