Well, I've done some research on this site, but need some more information. I'm planning to replace the rear trunk floor and noticed McMark's comments on this post.
Here's what McMark suggested for replacing the trunk floor... In this picture I'm assuming that McMark cut the existing floor pan just in front of the center structure, then spot welded the replacement on top, like this? Also, I'm assuming that the sides and the rear section are spot welded to the sides, correct? Finally, my car has the original factory rear sway bars, I'm assuming I need to remove the sway bars, but how do I remove and reinstall the upper piece that is welded to the floor? -- Rob |

Try to save the body number in that section of the trunk. In any event, be sure to update your car profile with that number so it is not lost.

Dave, I got this car with the rear trunk floor already removed, so I don't know the body number. Zach, the PO provided the replacement piece with the purchase of the car. Mark, I'm definately going to only cut out the sections that are bad. I'll post pics tomorrow showing how I fit the new piece. I've already cut out the passenger's side corner, but I left the metal where the sway bar bracket is welded. I'll be extra careful when I weld in the new piece. I agree, I'm not going to remove the cross member. I noticed that if I removed the cross member, I would still need to butt-weld the new piece beyond, so I've decided to do the butt-welding before it. Pics tomorrow will better show what I'm trying to describe... George, this is the only pics I found on your web site showing the rear trunk floor replacement. It appears that there is a weld in front of the cross member, going the whole length of the replacement piece. -- Rob |
