Yah, what Bar?
Oh I know what you mean but first to keep from breaking or bending the clips you need to go to the right side and move that one thing over about 1/8"!
Hope that helps.

The secret is to give yourself more room, so I would suggest you remove the stools first.

I've heard of "passing the bar", but never removing it.

Someone asked once about removing the bulkhead entirely, is that what its about.
Lets see what its used for:
1, the umbrella holder and map pocket on the front face, not much rain in Australia and its only got a couple of roads through the bush, not needed.
2, the cargo cover on the rear face, every one is honest over there, not needed.
3, ? surely it must do something else ..........

So it's safe to drill into that wall between the trunk and seat if I want to mount amps, etc?

depends where you are mounting it to but you gotta be careful and if i were you do not drill into the car instead slide a piece of plywood or MDF and then screw the amp to the wood.

if you are talking about the hump in the rear what i would do i remove the carpet and expose the metal and pull that metal cage off and mount a piece of wood and then screw the amp to the wood and install the metal cage back on.

i think hes talking about the bumper reinforcement bar. which i wouldnt recommend removing because its a huge part of the safety of your vehicle. but i would imagine after removing the bumper its would just be a few bolts to remove it.
