What happens here
Begin by removing all seats (front and rear if applicable), followed by the center console. This typically involves removing mounting bolts for the seats and various fasteners and electrical connectors for the console. Next, remove any floor mats and then carefully lift and remove the vehicle's carpeting or floor liner to expose the underlying metal floor pan and wiring harnesses, as shown in the video. Finally, remove the door sill plates and kick panels.
Goal: Clear the floor and central area of the cab to prepare for dashboard removal.
