Removing notch rear 1/4 panels
ruckus - November 28th, 2005 at 09:04 PM

Ok so I got all of the f@#$&*g screws out except for the one right in the corner of the back seat on the inside. Do I have to take the back of the seat out to get at this bastard?

ps: it's ren's late notch if that makes a difference.

pps: yeah i know ren, but reports were done and I needed to do something productive :D

Come on I'm feeling stupid over here!

Yes, I think so. If notchies are like fastys, I think there is also a screw near the tail lights which is near the bottom of the boot. It may be under the boot seal.

Thanks pete but I don't know if I've got the deft touch to throw around the gas axe!


Especially when it's not my car :spin:

Just in case anyone needs the info in the future:

To remove the rear seat (ren I didn't break anything so don't have a heart attack!):
Take out the bottom of the seat as per beetles. Now the top one is so simple and as previously mentioned I am aware that I'm an idiot. All you need to do is locate the two 10mm nuts at the bottom of the seat which hold the base brackets to the body. Once these are out you can pull the bottom of the seat towards you and the lift the seat up so that the folded edge at the top clears the parcel shelf.

Once this is done that last little prick of a 10mm screw is easy to get at.

Voila, stupidity overcome... for now.

i think theres a screw inside under the talight housing from memory and a screw under the engine lid rubber near tailight

you would have to remove the trim inside the boot as well
