'04 Jag X-Type deck removal

Rear deck on these is right against the glass. Too tight and fuzzy to leave in. Fold the rear seats down using the release in the trunk. To remove the back seat side panels slide your hand in on the left side of each panel. (inside of driver's side, outside of pass. side) Push in the clip at the bottom of the plastic anchor. (in the first picture) Then the panel pulls out enough to gain access to side bolts that hold on the deck.
Then remove the bolts anchoring the child seat belt attachments.

The side pillar panels pop off from the top and pull up and out. The clip i'm holding out (in the second picture) slides up and out for panel removal. It's kind of a tight biatch to put back in though.
Then the rear deck will pop up and slide out. The sides where the seat belts run through can pop off seperately from the center of the deck.
The rear deck can't be completely taken out because there arent' slits for seatbelt removal. We just pulled it down and stuck it in the trunk while we tinted it.

Finished product

It's kind of a tight biatch to put back in though.
Thanks for the tip Blade
BTW if you line it up right and push really hard on the side pieces they pop right on.

Hey Blade,

Good info there...do you still have any of the pictures??

I have one to do next week.

Is Blade around to answer this one?

I left the deck in when I did it - it was very tight near the matrix - a bit of a pain to shrink to.

You can do them nice and clean with the deck in, especially with a metallized film, the NR is hard to push in there though. Another tip, wet it where it's touching the glass and push it down, sometimes it will loosen up a bit, and you can push it down while you are squeegeeing the water out of those areas.
