I AM TRYING to remove the rocker gfx piece on my 89' IROC.

is there a bolt you have to remove from the inside of the car to get it to detach from in front of the rear tire????

what am i missing...i cant get the the piece loose in front of the rear tire

 

you will have to remove inner interior panel on pass and driver side

 

If you have really really skinny arms, you can go in through the vents that are in the door jambs to get the nuts off. There are 2 of them on each side, 10mm I believe.

 

So they are jsut bolted on then? I though they might be rivited or some crazy not cool thing.

 

They are speed nuts, 11mm head I believe. They look identical to the nuts that hold the door handles on (I just changed my drivers side handle today).

 

An easier way is just taking out the lower rear seat, then you can go through a small hole near the very bottom of the pillar way below the speaker. Sometimes the hole is covered with a sticky black square or rectangle. I would almost swear that the nut size is 7/16.
Good Luck!

 

Zepher,

Where did you get your door handle? My drivers side rattles.


Sorry to veer away from the topic.

7/16 might fit but it is an 11mm for SURE, i just did except i have a convertable and some reinforcing metal in the way.

 

I took them off a door I bought. I was going to swap doors, but was too lazy.

 

does anyone know where to get that bracket that he is talking about removing?

 

its easy to find door handles at the junk yard got my driver side 1 there
