Any idea about the rear inside trim panels on a 3 door  as nothing seems to come up on the search function :smiley:

iirc you have to first remove the rear bench seat before you can remove the trim panels.
Without traction power is nothing!

I couldn't make it any clearer from ELSA so just saved as a PDF.

If you can't read that properly PM me your email and i'll email you the PDF :happy2:
