Strange bolt in the trunk - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #60819 12 posts Started by Ugglan
Hi!
I found a bolt that sticks up through my carpet in the trunk, does anyone know what it's for and if it's safe to remove it?

Yeah, definitely not stock....I am working on my 95 Hatchback and I don't have one either in that spot.
Now...what it is holding? Not sure....might require a crawl under the car biggrin.gif
Yeah, I agree with you guys...doesn't look stock. Supose it just to take the "hard" way and crawl under the car and take a look. Just tought I might tried this forum first, you never know how much information theri is, someone might have hade the same problem... biggrin.gif
are you the original owner??? im guessing its some kind of grounding point for maybe a sound system??

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island

No I'm not. Good guess, haven't tought about a sound system but your idea make sence...will check it out...
yea thats wat i thought immediately is a ground...

BANNED. for life, you moron.
Definitely looks like a ground.
Yeah. Ground. Why someone chose that exact spot, I have no idea.

My new, blue spark plug wires gave my Celica, roughly, 250 more horsepower..94 Celica GT89 Sentra Sport Coupe Project (the other haggard woman)
Will check it out when it stops raining...right now it's almost storming...

Took a crawl under my car today and their is no usefull function of the bolt, except as grounding point. Tanks for all ideas anyway...
