Luggage Compartment Door Removal

Does this just pull off or are there some screws hidden in there? I'm planning carpet install and would appreciate any hints, tips, etc. before I start ripping stuff apart.

:iagree:

Get some cotton fibre filler with it and it'll stick forever. West Systems is great stuff. Caveat: you can't use polyester over epoxy but you can use epoxy over fibreglas.

Re: Trailing Arm Reinstallation (w1ctc)

Re: Serious lack of power - Q-jet or timing? (isosceles)

What do you know about the 400? Which cam, heads, etc/ what's compression like? Maybe it has mechanical problems.
