    Hey people,
    Questions:

    How do you remove the rear quarter from the deck panel?
    How do you remove the rear quarter from the rocker panel?

    thanks

    The deck and the rockers are spot welded. You have to expose the area in order to drill them out. The best method would be to cut bulk of the quarter out of way.

    Are you trying to save the quarter?

    That makes it more difficult. You have to get to that seam/flange where the quarter attaches to the filler panel. There's also a support that goes up to the underside of the quarter from the trunk but that's glued onto the quarter.

    The other pic I posted is where it's glued. I'd probably start w/a heat gun but wouldn't worry about it until that seam I circled spotwelds are free.
