One of these days I'll tackle this job. The smell tends to reappear during the summer months when it gets hot. I don't smell it right now. Is the replacement carpet as good quality as OEM? I'm afraid I may have to replace mine as well.
I was really surprised so many people like it too, it drove me nuts.

The carpet I ordered was out of a 00 beetle, so it was already molded. I highly recommend going this route. Taking apart the entire interior is already a hassle, you won't want to mess with un-molded carpet. I did mine over about 2 weeks, but I own 3 cars so it wasn't a big deal. If you were going to do it, you'd want to allot 2-4 hours depending on how mechanically inclined you are. If you are really interested in doing it I could probably write up a 'step by step'.
