How easy is this?

Looking to take it out to trim it in leather :oops: (since the leather seats went in.. i want leather everything :cry: :oops: :cool: )

So, whats the script? does it come out? if so how?

Thanks again, Coldo. :D :wink:

You need to take you back seats out, which is pretty simple, then the parcel shelf "slides" out into the car, also pretty simple. Just be careful 'cause the shelf is just compressed carboard and easy to bust. Be careful of speakers etc.

To remove the seats:
push the front of the seat base up (clips in two places), when it pops off just lift the seat up & out.
There's two bolts fixing the back of the seat onto the sides (one on each side at the end of a metal bracket), take these out, then push the seat back up (again it clips in two places) until it pops off, just lift it away.

That's it, simple, 10min job.

Are you going to the RCC meet at the showcase? If you're there and haven't done the job by then I can show you on the night (if you wish).

dont forget back seat belts you undo them from bottom dont let them reeel up to far cos sometimes can break em then you need to slip out the plastic trim seatbelt rolls on and slip the seathbelt through the slit and pass seatbelt throught hole in parceshelf , you will need 10mm spanner or socket and 17mm socket with 6" extension
