eob 7 Posted November 6, 2006 I have a faint memory when I built my XSI that the battery tray just came out after removing four bolts, however, on my '92 GTi, it appears to be both bolted and welded in, what the hell is going on there?? :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hengti 2 Posted November 6, 2006 it's bonded on using some sort of panel adhesive give it a good whack - it'll break the bond easily enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anthony 1,003 Posted November 6, 2006 Not welded from the factory that I've ever seen - just the four bolts - but who knows what's happened to your car in the 14 years odd since it rolled off the production line... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True... it just will not f**king come off. I know I can cut and pry it off but I only wanted to de-rust it and removed a sheared battery clamp bolt, not resolve myself to a fortnight of zinc primer and tears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted November 7, 2006 I've had atleast one that was pretty well stuck on though, and required a hefty stamp to seperate it from the shell... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miamistu 1 Posted November 7, 2006 You have undone all four bolts then? When I first did it I only undid the top two and then struggled for about 5 mins to remove it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
