Hello everyone. I am doing a 997.1 to GT3 Cup Decklid conversion and I am having a bit of trouble removing the Mid-Decklid/Filler Plate (The thing that contains the stock rear brake light). I removed the three star bolts and the thing is still on there pretty tight. Any suggestions?

There are two studs that go into the car interior from the "filler" piece. The vertical carpet trim just below the rear window must be removed to get to the nuts. This trim snaps out - pull hard towards the interior (plastic trim pry tools can help). This will reveal the metal skin of the car body from within. There are holes on the left and right, covered with adhesive soundproofing material, about 1-1/2 in diameter. Peel these off, then use a deep socket to remove the nuts. I do not remember the nut size, but it is fairly small, around 10mm.

I will give it a try thanks!

facelvega,

Thanks for all the help, this is the only thread on reenlist that outlines this procedure (to my knowledge).

I really appreciate it!
