Quick question to 01+ GS owners...I'm reinstalling my trunklid carpeting and I have the trunk release handle on it (2001+) does the carpet go over or under that black plastic backing of the release handle assembly??

 

Don't know if this will help you, but I saw this picture somewhere. Don't remember where, but thanks to whoever it may belong to.

 

if I'm recalling correctly - carpeting goes in between the edges of that black plastic unit w/ handle.

 

So the black plastic trim ring goes ontop & the carpeting is in the middle...

 

that's right, the carpeting goes in the middle of the lever, it's a PITA to remove and get back on.

 

the carpeting goes under the lever assy? or just in middle?

 

i dunno if its cause i have had mine off so much but for me its fairly simple....keep in mind my interior has been out a handful of times. get a little flathead to help you wedge it in the groove though

so the plastic emergency handle has a lip on both the front/back of it with a groove in the middle the carpet goes INTO the middle of the lip in the groove

 

Do you know what's the proper plastic push pin size (universal) ones that fit

 

i have WHOLE box of them i can send you a few if you wanna pay shipping for them VIA USPS. i swear i have atleast 20+ of these

i DID try a few univeral ones and if i recall correctly the ones from the GM held the best....albeit still not as good as the oem ones.

BTW if u dont know what i mean by a grove i can probably snap a pic of it tonight as my liner is also out to replace my warranty LED back up tag

 

i decided to put my interior back together before sending it to lexus to look at today so here is that pic i said i would send you....


the liner goes INTO the middle groove

 

That's gonna be a PITA

 

im telling you, its not. get a little flathead screwdriver and take your time....its fairly easy.

i will work on getting those pins out to you, sorry for the delay. PM or email me your address again please
