i am guessing once the bottom section is off you remove the boot strap hooks and pull down to unclip it ??? .

Thanks

so remove the two cross head screws and then pull the bottom part off,  then is it just clips like the bottom part then? so just PULL down lol

whatever you do dont snap the metal clips, theyre a pain in the arse coz it'll drop into the tailgate and you'll never see them but always hear them, got mine out with a mganet and now theres a squeeking noise due to the lack of a clip holding everything secure  :lipsrsealed:  :cry:

you need to take the parcel shelf nobs off too, you'll ruin them so just order some new black ones

With the parcel shelf clip bits there's a nail shaped piece that slides out from the centre of it which makes it soo much easier to remove, then just pull it of as said above

yer looked in to that but trying to do it as cheap as i can, them bits get a lot of contact so would scratch easily if sprayed that part doesn't really get any contact and the other plastics i ve sprayed look OM enough for me  :laugh:
