Default Quick question...

Can someone tell me what the rectangular inspection ports outboard of the trailing arms are for? Do they come off easily or after removing the 4 small bolts do they have adhesive sealant holding them in place.

(Thanks, short on time to remove/replace)

Those holes are for access to the rear door jamb switches and their wiring.

Hi,
This is what you see with the little panel is removed.
The #3 body mount is at the bottom as Brian described.
The sealer is similar to black 3M Strip Caulk.
Regards,
Alan
