Just curious, for those that received theirs do the 3-4 hour installs include removing the interior? Mine should arrive this week and just planning time for next weekend...

Good morning,

Yes, it included install time. I did make a two more cuts in the carpet than recommended to pull it out in chunks rather than one large piece which helped a lot.

Best estimate on removal & install time?

Took me about 4 hours by myself on a 2 door. And I was doing laundry in between

Got it all put in and put back together. I put mine in the driveway in the sun for 45min-1hr. Made it nice and flexible to tuck in everywhere. I’d say 2-3 hours taking your time is about right depending on your level of motivation/mechanical ability. I don’t think it was in the directions but I made a 4th cut in the middle of the rear seats where the carpet went around a bracket. I also popped the headrests off the front seats. This gives more room to lift the seats out. One tip don’t push the drains in too deep. If you push them too far the caps don’t fit right. But no worry grab the outside edge of the drain and pull it back up a notch or two.

In the middle of mine right now and ran into the same 3rd cut. No biggie. Only problem I’m having is - like another user - the 8mm dead pedal nut is picky about the socket it will take. It doesn’t work with mine so I’m on hold for now.

edit: the 8mm didn’t fit because it’s a 10mm nut. D’oh!

My 2 door rear seat belts were t-45 not 40. They were rusted in place. I needed a breaker bar with a cheater to get em to break loose, My china made battery impact was no help. Though it was nice for removing the long fine thread seat bolts. Much to tedious with just a ratchet.

2 hours install. hell no.. not with my back

PB Blaster is your friend for rusted nuts/bolts. Never crank on a rusted fastener with a pre-soak unless you don't care if it breaks which is legit in some instances.

I didn't know it was rusted. I just assumed because it was a safety item it was torqued pretty tight.

Why’d you take out the seat belts? Is that required only for 2-door?

Strange our dead petal nuts on both my ‘21 and this ‘22 are 10mm nuts. Also my console had 7mm head bolts in it.

Only the rear belt lower attachment. mine was a T- 45 torx bit. Cant say about the 4dr

I’m a moron and it was a 10mm nut. I was taking the instructions too literally when they said 8mm and 13mm sockets only. Luckily didn’t waste too much time on that.

I will have your tip about the headrest added to the instructions, can you possibly get me a picture of the bracket you said you cut out for?

To the others we will update some socket sizes. Please forgive us we took photos of the install then did the instructions based on photos and memory so they need some clean up. I have a Braptor scheduled for my shop to do a video and refine any further details.
