    With Great care!!!! Those things are worth their weight in gold ..... :)


    Philips head screw at top .....

    Two speed nuts underneath ... you gotta remove the rear seats and kick panels to get to the nuts ..

    To help clarify....Only one speed nut on the bottom of each one. It can also be reached from inside the trunk....no need to take out the seats. Just don't get shut in the trunk.

    LOL ... oh yeah ... on espeed nut ... :slap:


    I was laying inside the trunk when I put the speed nuts on my Vinyl top trim and was able to reach them .... only another 4 or 5 inches to the boomerang so I'm sure it can be done ....

    Good tip Craig .....

    Just ... Don't drop the nut ... unless you have extras!

    Yeah, you gotta be extra careful with the two nuts....be careful not to get kicked in the panels while doing this procedure or you may have to rest awhile on the back seat. :eek: :yikes: At least that's how I understood it. :biglaugh: :rofl2:
    BTW - I have never had to remove any panel to get to the..........two nuts...:D
