How to remove front seats and carpet? - Toyota Yaris Forums

OK, so it turns out that after purchasing the peel and seal, and the adhesive duct insulation, there is no place in this city that has an E10 "star" torx socket. I went to Home Depot, Lowes, Pep Boys, Auto Zone, Ace Hardware, and Oriley's, and none of them had one. O'Riley's had a "4 piece star socket kit" that included an E10 but it cost $14 and I looked on Amazon and for the same price I can get a 10 socket set, so thats what I did.

Looks like I will not be doing this project today like I had hoped. :( Oh well. Next weekend.

Any secret to getting the center console out? How do I take the automatic trans shifter knob off?

For the console, just grab and unscrew the knob and then remove the one 10mm bolt from the cup holder at the rear of the console. Once you do that just lift it from the back end to pop the clips loose.
