Anyone had this problem before, looks like I'm going to have to cut into the shell somewhere to fix it, the question is, is it easier to do this from inside the car or underneath it (I don't know where the bolts are located specifically), but its one of the long bolts (the main one that holds the beam on) and one of the small ones on the beam mounting plate that won't tighten. I'd rather know what to do first before I go attacking it with a grinder in the wrong place
There was a lad in our group had the same problem with the longer bolt, he had to cut a section out from under the back seat. The smaller bolt should be accessible through the drain hole?
