So I searched the archives in hopes that somebody else has removed the panel and has the instructions for removal......no luck

The "luggage compartment side-panel lining" is the piecce that covers the amp above the CD changer.

Here is the official location:
Cayenne technical manual 70 03 19 --Removing and installing luggage compartment side-panel lining.

Anybody have the instructions/pdf/etc.? I tried to contact Loren over at Renntech but haven't heard from him.

Thanks!

Dell, email me I have lost yr email address, I have what you want.

You have explosives? That will certainly remove the panel.....

LVDell

I tried the explosives. But all the did was bounce off the panel

Hmmn, the Cayenne, sensing an attack from an unhappy owner, must have raised it's shields.....similar to when it's shields are raised, you are unable to use your keyfob due to zero range.

If explosives don't work, I'd suggest setting phasers to 'kill'.

I got the amp for replacement now I need to know how to do this as well. Feels like a lot of breaky things back there and before I get into it by trial and error, does anyone have instructions on which pieces have to come out and how to do it?

mudman2

PM me with your email address

Budget a few hrs. to do the deed. It's one of those "I only need to remove this piece to get to what I want but I have to remove 10 pieces to get that piece off". It would be much easier to Dremel a (bigger) hole in the panel and duct tape the panel back on when you're done.

Have fun.

Does this involve removing the rear seat back to get to that little damn pad?

mudman2

Nope, but the small pad and the seatbelt yes, PIA isn't it

JPhillips-998

Unbelievable PIA...

Does the little pad just pry out past that metal post?

I haven't go to the seat belt removal yet.

Somewhere Larry is laughing.

mudman2

I can't remember sorry

ltc

Yes, he is.

JPhillips-998

Well the job is done and the radio actually works!!!!.

I never got the liner off completely but was able to access and change the amp without full removal.

Real PIA? YES. Worth the savings of $1,600? For me, YES.

There were some twisted minds that designed that thing.

Thanks Mudman, I appreciate your help and information. Time for a bit of celebration.

When removing the side panel, do you have to remove all the other pieces as well? Like Remove the C Pillar Trim, the rear roof lining, the D-Pillar Cover, luggage compartment trim, and cover for lock mount? If so, does anyone have those instructions?
