It seems to be pinched onto to the vertical portion of the "shelf assembly" by a piece of metal (which also attaches to the hinges) held on to it by some small, coarsely threaded screws...but upon removing all of the screws, the spare tire carpet doesn't come out. It looks like the piece of metal has rivets going through it as well which holds it on to the hinge assembly. Do I need to remove these rivets to get the carpet out in one piece?

I had some water leaking into the back and the carpet is now all mildewy and gross. Is this carpet still available from Honda?

you have to cut the carpet out, thats what i did

 

^Yup. Bust out those shears

 

no you do not have to cut the carpet out. i drilled the rivets out on mine the other day and it came free.

 

drilling out the rivets is too much work cut it come out in about 30 seconds

plus i didint have my drill bits with me

 

If it's gonna be thrown away and replaced anyway.. it doesnt matter how the old carpet comes out
