I need to remove my Targa bar pad. I have removed the shoulder belt, pads right behind the belts, Targa trim and now am stuck on the bar pad. There looks to be screws deep in the pad. I “believe” I have loosened those. Some look to be missing (not surprising as previous owner seemed to have lost about 20% of the fasteners for most everything I have disassembled so far). Anyhow, it just doesn’t seem to want to budge. Not sure which way it is supposed to come off (Out toward front of car? Down?) I assume that the latch hardware comes off after the pad is removed? Any tips on this?

The latch trim plates have to come off. These are the two plates on the top side at each end. The early ones were metal castings, the later ones are plastic, with a leather texture on them. The screws are at the two ends, down inside. You can reach them from the top with a long skinny philips screwdriver. Once you have them out, you can pull on the plate up and out.
Getting them off is much easier than putting them back on. You're in for a treat when it's time to reassemble! Jim |
