How difficult is it to remove the interior rear quarter panels? Does anybody have a write up or pictures.
TIA

 

Not hard to get out but they went in before most of the interior. The rear seats and side bolsters there need to come out. The bottom fasteners are underneath the carpet. The clips to the body along the upper edge are sure to have some either break or tear the backing.

What would be the goal of this operation?

 

Thanks Glen. The goal of this exercise is to replace the leather on the quarters. The existing leather has really shrunk and is pulling away at the edges in a major way.
So if I understand it, the rear seats will need to be removed.

 

Not sure if this is what you are looking for....

Thank you. Those links are really helpful.

 

If the leather has only shrunk, you should try treating it with German Nivea hand cream. Others have used with good success. Do a search. Save you a lot of hassle and keep thing original.

 

Bilal I recovered my liners in the Swiss car
the new leather was a bit big in a few areas and that could be due to the liner shrinking,
otherwise the new leather looks great and smells even better,
I reused the old foam on the liners,
I used Weldwood brush on to secure the edges
