Rear Linning, under window, question


Recommended Posts

Hello,

My Carrera is a 1999 Coupe; I'm trying to take this off...it's the linning, with carpet, that goes between the side panels and just just under the rear window.

I've looked in the 'Search' and found, in the removal of the head linner area but the instructions about this are very un-clear, to me.

It just says "Pull the rear plastic trim out of the roof frame evenly on the left and right and detach".

My questions are, do I just grab this carpeted panel at the top or bottom or on the sides and just PULL? Or should I put some type of 'wedge' behind it and kind of 'pop' it off? What are the chances of things like 'clips' breaking, or maybe the panel just snapping in half?

Thanks for any help,

If you mean the carpet trim behind the rear seats where the DME is located, grab the middle of the vertical part and lift a little so that the left and right side part comes free, than pull.

Thanks, I think you are talking about the same part. But I think the DME is sitting under the larger carpeted liner that is over the top of the engine. The liner I need to take off is 'Vertical' above it and just under the rear window and only about five or six inches tall. I just don't want to 'break' it while I'm taking it off.

Thanks again for your time,

Loren,

Thanks for the picture...but I talking about the panel located just below the rear window. My 99 is a little different than the picture...mine has carpet and is kind of thin. It isn't as thick as the one in the picture looks.

Thanks again for your time,

Same thing as RFM says - it is just held in by clips as I recall (that might break depending on their age).

The only thing behind that panel is the rear wiper motor (if you have that option).

Yes Sir, that's it. I do have the rear wiper and would like to get to it. So, if I reading this right.....grab hold of the middle and pull and it should just 'pop' off???

Thanks again,
