Carpet and Seat Installation R56 Mini Cooper

04 May

This video will show you how to install the carpet, seats, and center console in an R56 Mini. This information may also apply to other Mini’s of the same vintage.

I removed the seats and carpet from my 2007 Mini Cooper S to dry things out. When I bought the car the window was open and it sat outside for a while. As a result, the interior was dirty and wet and needed to be dried out.

While I had things removed, I thought it would be a good time to also do some detail work on the interior. It’s looking, and smelling like a new car inside now.
