My car had a folded up business card keeping the raddle down when I purchased it. I think it was a divorce lawyers card. I quickly spent the couple hours and 20 or so bucks following the introductions found on this site to fix right. Not a hard job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Its not a hard job at all. The only sticky part is.... well, the sticky part.... |

Do you have to remove the top targa bar pad. If so, that’s the only pita part about it.

The answer to the question the OP asked:
(first I’ll paraphrase the question) can I do the job but skip a bunch of important steps? Yes. You can get rid of the rattle without taking out the interior. Sell the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Sell the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Seats come out in 10 seconds. add a minute or 2 if its a fixed passenger seat.Unscrew the engine lid pull knob down by the ebrake cable. Backpad is 4 screws after you pop out the back pad light. Upper belts are 1 bolt each then 1 screw each for side bolters(2 on the driver side for the hanger. I think it might take 10 -15 minutes total and if you haven't done it before, you will be surprised by how much junk gets trapped on the floor behind the back pad. Remember, the back pad pulls down and away from the fire wall. |

My point is if you know and he knew, that you need to remove the interior to reseal the rear window and you go to this effort to avoid the prep work, you need to sell the car because this goes no where. |
