So, I have this very irritating clucking noise coming from under the driver and passenger feet on my GQ. I search around on Patrol forums and eventually found that it is the bodymounts.
So, on Saturday, I thought I'd loosen the nust and see what's up, BUT.....the bolts turn with the nuts
How do I get to the head of the bolts, I cannot see any way to get to it from below. Can you get to it from inside the car by lifting the carpets?
I don't want to rip out the interior and find that I've gone down the wrong path.

Re: GQ Body Mount Bolts
Zantus, take off the strips under the front doors (some phillips screws), then lift the carpet slightly, and you will see a rubber grommet. Lift that out, and the bolt head will be visible.
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.

Re: GQ Body Mount Bolts
Zantus,
If you lift the carpet and find that it is a square piece of plastic and not a grommet, then you are in for a four-handed mission to remove the captive nut-holder-plastic-@#$^&-thing
Cannot remember if the front inside-cab ones had those plastic thingys
I destroyed 2 before I got it right to remove them- 0 eight 2 3 seven 2 9 2 eight 6
