I'm pondering installing the Elise USA mesh in my 05 Elise deck lid.
In looking at how the louvers are mounted, it looks like rivets on the back end, with plastic prongs on the sides of the louvers extending into holes in the deck lids.
I looked at how the louvers in an 06 are mounted when the cars were parked side by side. The 06 had screws where the 06 had rivets, and there were some other differences.
Bottom line is that the 05 louvers appeared to be glued in, and as such would be tough to get out without perhaps damaging the lid, or at least causing the need to respray.
Anybody get their louvers out of an 05 lid, and can give me some tips before I dive in and screw something up?
Thanks,
