Trim Panels Removal and Installation

Figure 10

The rear quarter panels and rear cockpit panel are held in place with a variety of Phillips screws (Fig. 10).

Figure 11

Remove these panels as well as the piece of material that runs down the 'B' post (Fig. 11) so that the paint between the rear quarter panel and door trim is covered.

Next, the bracket at the base of this post needs to be covered with the shaped panel and corresponding material (Fig. 12). Note the positioning of the material of the board.

Figure 13

Bend the top of the board so that it will sit on the top of the bracket, while the extra material as can be seen (Fig. 13) is adhered to the outside of the metal bracket and returns up to cover the lip where the door trim fits.

You are now in a position to fit the sill carpets and front scuttle panels. The long vinyl flap will eventually be adhered over the sill lip (Fig. 13) and will be covered by the door trim. Apply adhesive to the rear of the carpet and to the metal sill, allow to go tacky, position and press firmly into place.

The scuttle panel can be fitted now. We suggest you lay the old panel over the new panel so you can transcribe holes for screw attachment (Fig. 14).

This will make the panel easier to fit and you can utilize the old holes in the bodywork (Fig. 15). The door trim can now be refitted to your car.

The last two pieces of carpet can now be removed. These are the two fitted over the rear axle area and are probably felt backed (Fig. 16).
