Post subject: | 944 rear panel replacement |
My Turbo has a little rust around the taillights and number plate lights, but more of an issue is a little bit around one of the hatch pin locks. It looks like someone has cleaned it up and filled as it looks like the filler has blown. As this area is double skinned and not easy to get to the back of I will proably look at repairing with a good clean part panel. But whilst eyballing the job, I wondered if it would be that much work to replace the complete rear panel. Has anyone removed this panel before? Is it straight forward? Obviously it is welded at the seam lines you can see along the top panel and at the corners below the light apertures - but as the panel is double skinned does this make access more difficult? Is it designed as one complete double skinned panel, or would i need to remove the inner skin then the outer? I have not had the carpet out to have a proper look yet, but thought someone might have some previous experience ![]() |

Thanks Brian, have since spoken to Ken, who has removed and replaced the inner part of rear panel, and the reinforcing plates. From his pics and description I can see that you need to remove the inner rear, reinforcement panels and possibly the slatted parts running up inside of boot area, to access the spot weld for outer rear panel. Price isn't too bad though ![]() |
