Well I got it out. Sometimes you just need to walk away for a little bit. I Hammered the bit into the bolt and gave enough grip and i ripped it one last time and it broke loose.

I'm surprised you had that much of an issue...mine came out really easy. I was concerned about stripping since i was using a cheap bit but not an issue. Maybe yours were wet before and rusted some.

You def need a new carpet. Good luck with the center console...

you can pick up new bolts from a ford dealer. you can get teh part number from the dealer and either buy it or get new ones from Randy.

That's gonna look damn good! You should add your "found use" for the magic eraser here: (Under "1001 Discovery Lane")

You should go for a drive without the seats in...I think that would be fun.

The flash has some to do with that. But this brought it right back to life.

No not at all. I had to move the car to get the mower out

Slick. I'm picking up an eraser on the way home. A&P will carry this stuff, right?

I'll have to try that eraser, we use it in the bathroom alot. My center console is disgusting and i tried simple green and elbow grease with not alot of sucess.

quite disturbing. i mean, brown interior

magic eraser definately makes a impact on things though, wait till you get the rest of the car done, itll look cleaner than it came from the factory.

the rest of the car is done. just waiting to put it back in.
UPS dropped off the carpet today and i have the passenger side in. I haven't put the seats back in just the blots. I am going to let gravity work a little bit then stretch the carpet more so it's tight and no lumps.
