The column in my hatch is buggered it rattles and has heaps of movement in it. I was wondering how to pull the whole thing out in one piece? I have done what i thought needed to be undone to get it out but no go. Anyone know?
Cheers

I forgot about the 4 bolts holding the panel onto the fire wall i thought it was just a rubber sleeve that went through it. I will be pulling it out on saturday so hopefully no more shakes and rattles.
