| Removal of the T-Bar TOOLS REQUIRED
1x Philips screwdriver.
Removal of the T bar is not a difficult procedure
and should take you less than half an hour.
REMOVING YOUR T-BAR
1) Fold the hood frame back onto the rear deck. Push
the seats forward and tilt them forward using the recliner wheel.
2) Remove the three screws holding the hood roll
cover attachments on top of the T-bar. |
|
| 3) To release the T-bar, pull firmly at
the outer edges of the T-bar to release the trim clips at the edges, and then the centre. |
|
| 4) Under the T-bar there are six
plastic clips holding the bar in place: two in the centre, and two at each side of the
car. By pulling the outer ends of the bar gently towards the front of the car, the outer
clips will release. The two centre clips release in the same direction. Pictured are the
centre two clips. |
|
| 5) Lift the hood frame slightly and the
bar will come away. Let the bar drop and rest against the back of the seats. This
operation will expose a metal bar running across the car. In the picture, the speaker
installation is visible. MY2000 models have very different T-bar speakers with a sound box
installed behind them. |
|
| REFITTING YOUR T-BAR 1) Refit (if necessary) the six plastic clips onto the T-bar,
pictured right and below right (with the clip correctly re-installed into the T-bar).
2) Lift the hood frame and position bar on top of
holes to accept the plastic clips. Push the outer clips into the holes first and then the
centre ones. Make sure the end of the bar sits inside the door draft excluder. |
|
| 3) Replace the screws and hood roll
cover attachments on the top surface to complete the re-fitting procedure. |
