Hello all. I am trying to dynamat my car and Ive hit a snage. I cannot figure out how to remove the interior panel off the rear hatch door. There are two screws on either side of the hatch but after that im lost on what to do. I have done several searches but came up with nothing, I really dont want to break any plastic latches. Please help. TIA. | | | 03-11-2005, 04:41 PM | #2 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | It probally has plastic snaps kind of like the door panel. After removing those screws try and pry up an area with your hands or something else and see if it pops out. There's probally a dozen or so of those plastic clips holding it down. Again i'm not tottaly sure on this. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 03-11-2005, 07:37 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Fort Collins, CO Posts: 1,305 | if it's like the door panels you can grab a table knife or something and put a paper towel or something around it to protect the paint under the panel and just slide it under and pull out. Try to slide it in deep and pull directly outwards b/c if you try to pry instead it can end up digging into the paint. | | | 03-11-2005, 07:42 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | There are also plastic pop rivets. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 03-12-2005, 04:36 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Marin County & Santa Cruz Posts: 116 | Well I figured it out and got it all back together now. My subwoofer sounds a lot better now, and no rattles. Unfortunately I broke a few plastic clips, nothing a little 3M double sided tape couldn't fix. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
