I find in this type of post a photo helps take the guess work away. Cheers, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 that's probably spot welded to the bulkhead rear face,it's just a vertical stiffener rib,if removed the panel will probably flex, if you position your toolbox so that it'll stiffen the bulkhead, then no problem with removing it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diver110 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 My 200tdi 90 didn't have this so I assume as you stated that it is purely an option for fitting the spare wheel internally and so removeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
