Best way to replace body on Precedent

rockfordpi · 03-23-2018, 08:42 AM

Watched 2 you-tube videos on replacing precedent body.

one video (DIY Golf cart) showed body replacement without removing top. For the rear body, he says simply remove F/R switch and 4 body bolts, slide rear body off and slide new body on.

The other video (Madjax) shows complete top removal, floor mat removal, and loosening the panel at the bottom of the front of the rear body.

For those that have done this, what is the best/fastest/easiest way to replace body?

it might depend on the year but on mine the sweater basket/canpopy mounts had to be removed for the body to come off. The diy youtube one was a 2010 and mine was a 2008.5 so not sure if it changed or not. Do you have a rear seat on yours?

No rear seat on mine

undo the 4 bolts holding the body into the battery box and see if you can wiggle it free, you might get lucky and only have to do those 4 bolts. Mine had bolts holding it down to the rear under body but that might not have been stock. Nothing on my cart seemed to have been from the factory.

I have a 2014. Other than taking the rear seat off, I do not need to remove the canopy to remove the rear body. It goes around it. Now, If I want to remove the rear bagwell underbody (never remember what it's called), then I have to remove the top.
