    I was looking at the best way to remove the carpet so I can remove the
    TCU in my 91 Accord but saw some floor saddle (at door way) and
    plastic wall trim holding the carpet in place. It was getting a bit
    dark but I didn't see any screws holding the plastic trim in place.
    Do these just snap out...inotherwords do I just give them a yank to
    remove them or what is the best way to remove the carpet without
    destroying the carpet / trim to remove the TCU ?

    The plastic saddles are held in place with metal clips from
    underneath. They can be slowly lifted from the rear to remove them.
    From what I remember the front slides under the kick panel. I don't
    think the kick panel has to be removed to pull back the carpet since
    the carpet is just tucked under it a little. The panel is also held
    with the same kind of clips as the saddle. If you have to remove it
    pull it gently. The carpet is held (under the plastic saddle) with a
    plastic U channel that sits on a metal ridge of the door sill. There
    are no screws on my 91 DX.
