Rear Trunk Flap Removal

[longodj]

Does anybody now how to remove the rear trunk flap? Let me explain, in the trunk, there is the rear gate or whatever, and then connecting the trunk to the gate when the gate is down is a flap. That connects to a long strip that holds on the rear pillars. Does anyone know how to remove this?

Thanks,
Dave

Not sure why you want to remove it, but this blk plastic piece does fold up. I simply held it up when I had to run some wiring underneath...

It's holding in the rear pillar cover. I am clearing out all the wiring I had from a previous installer, cleaning out the trunk and starting fresh with new wiring. So I need to remove the rear pillar cover, to remove the side covering

Been looking for this info. Found instructions with pics at pelican.

It's in the Avin 2 install thread also. I have to check it actually to see if photobucket took down the images.

It did. Why do you use photobucket or pic hosting sites for that matter? Just attach the pics in your post and they will always be available. You just have to reduce the size using apps such as mspaint (preinstalled with windows or mac os), etc. I have posts as old as 15 years with pics. Just saying and my .2 cents ….

Main reason is I hate (like full on despise with the fire of a thousand suns) small, no detail, images for DIY's. It pained me using small images for the pdf write up. PB was good for 10 years before a year or so ago. *shrug* I'd like to host my own images really, but switched to using postimg for the time being.

Crystalworks, one of the main reasons one needs to reduce the image size is so that it doesn't fill the entire screen! You've seen those lousy DIY where a single pic fills an entire page. Pics taken by smartphones are of a very high resolution. I usually resize them by 75% and that still can fill the entire screen with 4 high res images. If you post using tapatalk forum app, it automatically resizes your pics to keep within the limits of image size allowed for attachments.

Try it and you will be very happy with your pic posts as the pics will always be there for years to come - just attach, post and forget; no hosting image hustles and maintenance or costs. .

Here's an example of an old post with pics taken by my smartphone reduced by 85%. Note the high res and size of pics. Those pics will always be online.

On the other hand, have you ever come across those potentially valuable DIYs that are rendered almost useless when in place of images, you see only an "x" ?

I cut the pics from my current phone camera to 15% of their native size with MS Paint before posting. Keeps them under 100 kbytes.
