I wanna remove the middle seatbelt holster thingy (the white box u can see from the trunk. Mine rattles like a *****... yeah im getting rid of anything and EVERYTHING that rattles on me.

See Pix:


Need to remove that thing up top, the black felt covered deck


Might need to remove the side bolsters to access the bolts for the deck

 

ill tell you how i removed my middle seat belt. i hit it with a hammer until it fell out. no word of a lie.

EDIT: but honestly, i tried to do it the sane-minded way by removing all the trim and whatnot. it doesnt matter. you could strip the car down to the atoms it's comprised of and that middle seatbelt still isnt going anywhere. which is why i had to bash it with a hammer.

 

****! I wanna be able to re-install it if I wanna go back to stock...

 

can you unbolt the white box from below/underneath? It could be like most of the interior and it pops out?

let us know what ya find out.

 

Naw from underneath u can see screws that u gotta remove from the top that holds it down.

 

buahahahah i have all the answers!!!
i removed mine and i dont remember bashing anything with a hammer though. i gotta check how t came out i dont remeber all thsis tuff but when the weather clears up i will go outside uncover that big hunk of junk and check it out for you

 

Bump...

 

i took my lid out, and you just leave that middle belt in but slide the lid down the belt (does this make sense?)and out of your way. I put some sound deadening material under mine and it helped but did not eliminate the rattle. I think the problem is the openings in the metal under the deck lid, they sort of act as ports for the bass from the trunk, and push up and rattle the lid. I am considering closing those openings with some brown-bread-sounds-dead unless anyone knows of a reason not to do this.

 

Ok, lemme make this clear. The top of my sub box is within millimeters of that white holster for the middle seat belt. Occasionally when the bass hits hard the white holster rattles like all hell. I tested that by actually holding it and seeing if the rattle goes away and it does. That's why i want to remove it. I gotta remove the rear deck lid to access the screws holding the holster in place. (im removing the middle seat belt altogether).

 

in that case ignore my advice, but i would still like input on if anyone thinks i shouldn't cover the holes in the back.
