[s-cars] Ski bag installation / replacement?

[brian bilotti]

Ok Guys,
I went through the exact same issue, including
breaking one of the f'ing hinges and still couldn't
get it in so I gave up before breaking anything else.
First, the epoxy works but let it cure and don't do
anything else until you pull the back seat upright,
yes, believe me, this made it simple. You gotta pull
the headrests, then the plastic sleeves. These
actually hold the top edge of the seat in place, then
take the screws out at the bottom of the seat back,
oh, I forgot to mention that the seat bottom needs to
come out first. Do all the above then lift the seat
back straight up and voila', you now have the entire
seatback in your hands. Now install the skibag! don't
ask me how it works but it does, trust me.
