Default Rear truck hatch removal


hello,
can someone assist me in removing the rear hatch? I want to take it off for repainting. But I can't seem to find the bolts! 😮

Remove the plastic panels on the inside of your "halo". That's the only way to do a good job with your painting project!

I've never taken the hatch off, so I'm no expert on this. It appears that the bolts that hold the hatch on are similar to carriage bolts (they have a square section under the head). It appears that you need to remove the plastic panels to get to the nuts on those bolts.

On the other hand, it's possible that you could drive out the hinge pins and get it off that way...
