Help Needed - M Roadster boot paneling removal guide.

[g1344304]

On my M roadster I'm having real trouble getting the panel completely off the front wall of the boot. I can get the battery cover off, the plastic screw tabs on the left but after that I become stuck. Is there a guide with pictures on the forum somewhere? I get stuck with the manual release knob for the roof, it really restricts how far I can move the carpet material.

I have this great guide for the M coupe but can't find something similar for the roadster:

The TIS says to remove the manual release from the carpet you have to slit the carpet enough to pass it through.

If you do it carefully enough you wont know its been slit.

yikes that sounds scary to me,one mistake and your boot panel is ruined! Can I just ask what TIS means?

Its the dvd based technical information system. You can pick them up on ebay for a few quid. Has all the instructions like the old haynes manuals.
