Default Is there any way to remove the activity pack panel?

(Not sure what the exact name of those panels are!)

I’m not planning to mount the exterior box or ladder on my D90 and I am wondering if it’s possible to remove the panel that is on the rear window? It obstructs the view quite a bit for the rear passengers.

I see there are screws that can be removed but does the entire panel come off? What does it look like when it is removed?

My car is still at the dealership so I can’t check for myself.

You need 4 pcs.
This is for the 110...

But I don’t think there’s anything you can do to improve passenger visibility, since that exterior panel is simply covering the interior C pillar of the car.

Rear passengers in a 90? Not great.

Oh, I missed the 90 bit. Was speaking of the 110.

Erroneous:




That said, I'm willing to bet that the glass is somehow different behind that interior storage panel thing. This 'signature graphic' is dumb on the 110 but at least there is actual metal and structure behind it. It is absolutely inane on the 90, and this is why. You could try taking it apart and seeing what you come up with and maybe modify one go this 110 delete kits to work? On reflection, maybe the glass is intact back there as on the 110.

Bottom line: if you don't want the signature graphic, don't order it.

Thanks guys. I haven't taken delivery of my D90 yet so I can't try removing the panel and seeing what's behind the plastic insert. I would imagine there are screw holes that affix to the panel on the outside of the car, but do those screws actually go through the glass? Do the screws go through the glass on the 110?

I may be able to use that 110 kit for the 90. Seems like it's just 3 plugs and a logo sticker. Not sure!

Has anyone with a 90 ever removed their panel? What is the actual name of the panel?

Is the option called the Signature Graphic? I wish my car didn't have it, but I bought an inventory car and didn't have the option of not selecting it.

Thanks for your help everyone!

How do you not order it? I am in the process of finalizing my D90S order and don't want the big blind spot. Attached is my build and it doesn't show it in the pictures. Is there any way to confirm this order won't come with it?

Thanks for any insight.

Its a $200 option that you say you do not want.
