Hatch lift support
 

On an 87 supra how do I remove the old hatch lift support(s)? It appears as the attachment to the body is 2 rivets! Thanks for any information.

It is my understanding that those are not rivets, but bolts, which are accessed from below. There are two nuts which must be removed.

I do not know how to take off the long plastic part which "hides" the nuts.

If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

same problem here
 

I have a 87 Supra and having the same problem..doesnt make sense to me that you have to take off the whole plastic cover .

thats how it is , I removed mines like that, you will have to take the plastic off.
