championc · 08-23-2009, 11:03 PM

Hi all,

I have some small dents in the rear panel which I want to try tapping out. I have gone through the Knowledge Base and found only articles about removal of the door skin but nothing for the rear section.

First off, I have a 316i Compact and there is NO rear speaker (not sure if other models have any but thought I'd mention it anyway)

I can't see any screws holding it in place - am I correct ? It looks like I should remove the door rubber and start prizing off the panel ?

The part I am unsure about is whether the part of the rear backrest in the corner needs to be removed and if so, how ?

Many thanks
