Zackman,... This is amazing. In my cart all of that BLACK unit that supports the rear roof, the seat backs, the basket, etc. rests on top of the body, so I just don't see how you can pull the body out without removing all of that????? However, I'm sure your pictures will show me how...

Zackman,..Well that really explains much more that 1000's words. I would have never believed that you could leave the roof and the struts in place and just take off the basket assembly and the housing around it. Of course now that I have all my lite kit installed I'll have to take off the tail lights and drop the wiring harness.

As far as "Depending on our Carts",,.. that is exactly my problem. My wife and I play golf so much I hardly ever get any time where I can work on it. Next month some friends are leaving for their Winter home in Palm Desert and they will let me have use of their golf cart for awhile. This will allow me time to take the body apart and get down to the painting.

Zack,.. I see that you have not started on installing a light kit. When it comes time just let me know and I think I can save you some effort.

trigger1937,

Pictures, many times, provide a more useful explanation and I'm glad they were useful. When I install the bucket harness for the light kit and the light kit itself, I will come a callin'.

Zackman,... after looking close at your pictures and again at mt cart I am still puzzled about the struts. It looks to me that the rear basket asm can not lift off the body until the struts are remove. The struts go down through holes in the rear assembly and they either have to come out first,..and again that requires the roof to come off. I don't get it.

trigger1937,

It would be great if you could post some pictures of your cart; therefore, it would be easier for me or any other poster to provide you with some helpful feedback. In my case, I removed alot of the original plastic "stuff" because I plan on installing a flip rear seat. The plastic struts you see in the pictures I posted will be replaced with, I believe, aluminum struts.

There were bottom supports enclosing each strut which strengthened their placements; however, once I removed most of the original equipment the removal of the rear body was not contingent on removal of the struts. What you see in the picture (i.e. struts) are going to be replaced.

It really is not difficult. Bring the pics on!!!

I realize this is an older post but I just took the body off my Precedent and it couldn`t have been any easier...four torx up front and four under the rear seat. I removed some 8 and 10 mm bolts on the rear black plastic supports and raised it enough to unclip the body...and two more torx hold the forward/rev switch.

Ten min. job at best.

Also , for those of you like myself ,you can still use the cart without the body so there`s really NO down time.

I hope this help anyone that`s been thinking about doing it , with fear it`s a big undertaking.

Red,...How about some pictures... Did you 2008 have a top. You did not mention anything about the rear struts that support the roof,..or how to get those off. I don't know how you would use the cart with the body off since the seat rests on the body????
