Mine is a seven seater, do I need to remove the third row seats, to lift the carpet?
If I unbolt the jump seats, does the spring release its tension? Is it tricky to reattach the seats?
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

Supporteryou could just use a box cutter and cut a access panel in the carpet, which is what i did, i have black carpet in the back and you honestly cant even see the slits unless you looking very closely. on top of said carpet i have rubber mat thing too so another level of 'cant see it' ha

I'm not prepared to wreck the carpet.

I would say so.
I have the 5 seater and have to remove all of the trim to window height, which also means loosening off (if not removing the window level height trim)

SupporterThe best place to cut the carpet is right up against the trim on the sides at an angle, then you just have to unscrew the tailgate strip and roll it out the way.

SupporterHave you had a good look at the carpet? I'd be unsurprised if it's not already been cut, providing they do a good job it's not very
noticeable

SubscriberEverything to the rear of the second row has to come out in that case. The carpet goes under all the trim, regardless of whether it’s a five or seven seater. Get a stock of trim push clips, and enjoy.

there is a step by step " how to" for the whole job in the D2 threads including cutting a flap in the carpet for access......I used a scalpel because my wife could get one.......it sliced it easily with such a fine cut , you could not see it after.
at around 300k i needed to change pump again. it was so easy to lift that little flap to access again

careful with the hose fittings , they may be brittle.
