Guest Lee81 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Its quite simple but two people is best for the job. Start by removing the rear carpet off the shelf. Then remove the trim panels from each side of the car. Release the inner hood cover at the rear can't remember but think there is one nut and sprung bracket each side. If your swapping the rear window glass take it out now. I use my feet whilst a friend holds the glass outside. Indo the studs each side that fasten the hood to car near the rear quater glass Undo and remove the rear hood cable which are the two nuts you where on about Undo the nuts that hold the strut each side to the rear window Disconnect the rear struts or pistons if you have a elecric roof from the roof meachanism Now open the hood carefully with a friend it will want to collapse due to the struts being removed so be carefull until its fully down You can now undo the three nuts each side and lift the frame clear from the car.
