how do you remove ejector box?

Post by bribrolly » Thu Jan 20, 2011 8:35 pm

cant see where the plug is that i need to unplug. ive pulled the actual box up and free but the lead disappears under trim and cant see the plug.

Didn't know what an eject box was, was curious, found this...

It's a longer job than you'd expect, by the look of it. This is for the roadster, but I think Coupe will be similar...

1. Remove panel for rear storage box
2. Remove rear speaker trim
3. Remove rear storage box

If you're still interested, the next bit's not on the online TIS...
4. Lever out Eject Box with special tool - looking at the pic the special tool is a couple of credit cards, slid down the gap between the eject box and the storage box lid - at the box end (away from the gear stick)
5. Follow the cable down from the eject box and disconnect.

Yeah it seems way more complicated than I was thinking. I've read that a few people just remove the 4 torque screws and only take out the top of the box which makes sense now!

Just need to find somewhere I can buy screwdrivers with the correct heads to fit the screws, nothing is ever easy!
