Hello all,
I'm going to get my engine lid hinge mount repaired next week. My welder guy would like me to remove the backpad from the car so he doesn't accidently set it on fire while welding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) I can go for that too! Anyway, I don't believe its ever been out. Can someone describe how to remove it without damaging it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Any info would be appreciated. I did not seem to find this information when I searched the site, so maybe describing the process is something new...? The shop manual was not real descriptive about the process. Thanks! |

Take seats out, take center tray out completely... then remove the 4 screws (2 behind each seat). Then pull the bottom of the backpad towards the front of the car... the top of the backpad will release from the firewall clips and you can take it out.
Or you can do what I did and stuff a wet rag behind it while welding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
