W202 Ski Hatch

[GrahamC230K]

OK, hoping someone with a late model W202 with folding rear seats can help me here.

Maybe you know or have a Haynes manual that can...........


This is what I am talking about. The panel is behind the rear armrest and the boot. It looks like it can be removed, I can see two screws at the top (just) but when removed the panel is still very solidly in place.

I'm, hoping that unlike earlier w202's this can just come out. I would have thought there was an option to have a hinged Ski hatch there, but I just want it out as it is not my Ski's I want to use it for.

Any ideas how it comes off?

take off the screws that hold it in place. Push up and pull out....i have done that with my C43!!! I stick fishing rods through there from time to time!!!
