    Default Wanted: Carpet buttons (?)

    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

    A normal kitchen fork works great for popping them off. I grabbed some during one of my trips to Mazda Heaven.

    I hope they work better than my kitchen forks! I still have the bent one sitting on my work bench. :)

    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.

    ...and across the line.

    My dad has a special tool for removing those kinds of clips. I have had pretyy good luck using a putty knife that I slotted with a grinder. Or you can try to use a small set of needle nose pliers to pull them out. I think the small ones I have came from Sears and were only a couple of bucks each. 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.
