Do the rear seats need to be removed? What about the bottom metal floor section?
Think you can sneak around them. There is a screw on the rear curved part of the lower quarter panel along the seat. On my picture there is a little silver dot towards the bottom. If you cannot get the quarter panel out, the lower seat comes out fairly easy. There is another screw holding the seat on the underneath then they pull up and out. A wire bar on the back slides out of a metal strap slot.
You are very knowledgeable! I think your interior is the same color as mine, Copper, but my carpet is also Copper, not black. Thanks!
Mine is gold with black carpet. Yeah, car disassembly.
No luck. It looks like I have to take out the back floor. How does it come out? I already have the carpet installed over it. Thanks
The side panel slides up and out.
The only reason I need to remove them is the trunk area needs to be repainted. The entire car was painted recently. I have removed all trim except for these two emblems. Painter wants them removed. He said he could get paint on them.
Can’t get my hand in there. Panel won’t slide up. It hits the rear window.
How does the false floor come out?
There are screws in the back (trunk area) and screws/nuts/bolts along the front. Will also have to remove the rear seats probably to make it all easier. But I was able to remove and install the sail panels with this in place. Slid forward and out. Did you remove the quarter panel? And the side lights?
I would only take the floor out , if I was going to anyways...
Great answer.
Regarding the side light: Do i only remove the lenses and chrome trim or the complete bezel that holds the bulb?
You should be able to just loosen the bulb holder and sneak the panel around.
