E86 Rear Blind removal

Post by inkey$ » Thu Dec 10, 2020 6:35 pm

Has anybody removed this and if so, can it be done without removing a ton of rear console?
Considering a swap from the beige boot blind to a black one.

Thanks to Liam22 today, I’ve picked up a black rear blind unit
* Great racing at Brands Hatch, Liam, Me and the boys were cheering you on as you chased down that E36 M3 :thumbsup: *

Still cant seem to find a decent guide on how to remove and install though. Anyone got any ideas of where I can find one?

TIS tells you. You need to remove pretty much all the trim to get to the blind I'm afraid.
