Removing the luggage cover - T350 / Sag

[mk1fan]

Afternoon.

Before I break something, can any one explain how to remove the retractable luggage cover in a Sag / T350.

Thanks.

There are 4 nuts underneath the car accessed from the wheel well you need to undo before it can be removed. You'll need a ratchet wrench as it is too tight for a socket on at least 1 of the nuts and removing the wheels will make it a lot easier (at least with SP12 wheels might be fine with spiders).

Careful you don't shear the stud bolt as they will most likely be rusted on.

I can get a photo of them if you can't find where they are.

Thanks. I'll get some Duckoil on them. Well, I'll find them first.

Be careful undoing or tightening the screws as you could otherwise break the nuts out of the cover.

I only removed mine once and immediately removed the nuts from the cover, placed pop rivet nuts into the boot floor and re-attached it using screws from inside the boot. Now it's an easy removal without having to lift the car...
