i have just taken the bars off of my surf ones in the picture which i will be selling soon but i have to get a couple of brackets attached to them first so they fit on the surf properly.mine also pulls to the left slightly too but at the mo i havent had time to check it out

if its the same as 3rd gen, then you just give a gentle but firm tug starting at bottom rear corner and working around edge, it should pop out (hopefully with standard panel poppers still on panel) if not same as 3rd gen...............sorry

road camber on most roads makes most vehicles pull left for safety reasons. poor pedestrians

Most people wedge the CD changer into the cubby box.

The panels are attached mostly with studs - I think you have to drop the top rear roof trim first as well - start from the rear passenger door trims and work backwards. The studs are fragile - esp in cold weather - you'll probably break a few - be patient. Try using some sort of fork as you move along to ease them out nearer to where they are rather than just tugging on the trim panel. Work your way around the seatbelt - there is screw behind the little panel (stamp sized) on the seat belt hook. Its a bit of a performance but it does all come away in the end. Put a bit of spray lube on them before you put it back to make it easier next time. As I said ...

Hi Matthew,

You might have tackled this already, if not this might help...

For the steering pulling to the left, use the search function with the words "steering idler" or "pitman arm",
