Hey guys. I have one last part I need to get to be ready for my interior conversion.
It's those little buttons that hold down the carpet behind the seats. I don't know what they're called but they're about an inch across and a b*tch to get off... I need a bunch of black ones, so if anybody has some, let me know :D
i found some at autozone... they're a bit different but they work and they are black...
A normal kitchen fork works great for popping them off. I grabbed some during one of my trips to Mazda Heaven.
Ya know... I never thought about that... do you have a part number or are they easy to find? And thanks!!Quote:

Claw Hammer works good. I have a special trim puller tool that works the best.
This is what my looks like. Got it at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

The best place to get them is from Mazda Heaven. I usually get some clips, and a variety of nuts and bolts when I go.
As for the autozone ones, I used some of those when I added the carpet over the gas fill / vent cover. They were shinny and the ones on the back deck are more of a matte finish. But they do work.
Good Luck with the conversion.
+1 best tool for the job.Quote:
