Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Removing all moulding (behind eats) on 308 GTSi

Thanks, I changed all 8 allen 8mm screws a few years ago. I thought I could change the insulation without taking the seats out. The big day is monday …………..

Those sob thingies are held by screws under the cover and the nuts are in the engine compartment.  Not impossible.  AND may be held in by the rear window rubber sitting on it.  I love Ferrari.  Like removing their tail lights.  Beware of corrosion on those stinkin’ 3mm threaded stock screws.  If the nut hangs up when replacing the light it just may drive the threaded stock into the plastic cracking the light. Another point, if you haven’t removed your seats yet, be really careful about those 8mm single screws #14 on your map because if they are just a tad corroded – you may either round out the Allen socket or snap the sob off.  THEN the rodeo begins.  Not too much help and as this is a tad late – you may have already met the beast and defeated gremlins.  Good luck – let me know how it turns out

I have a 1981 308 GTSi and I want to redo all the insulation behind the seats. At a first glance, I can see I need to remove the 2 screws holding the seat belts. Is there anything else I need to know before I start ?

Tav 110 shows # 21 (2 pieces), 23, 25, 20 need to be removed.

Happy Holidays!<image001.gif>
