what the heck is it? (rear panel central screw) - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

I was giving zippy a quick fluff and buff tonight and noticed something I'd never seen before. You'd think after 1-1/2 years and 21,000+ miles I'd know him by now... but what is this??

It is a screw. You will need to remove it when you take your rear panels off.

It is just one on the bolts that holds your rear panels on the car, don't freak out now.

ok, Thanks Cubefx and Sharkdog!

not freakin' out..-- ha ha - was just wondering.

None of the other panels seem to have a visible screw ....

At first I thought you were talking about the tracking device near the rear left tire.

You should crop that closeup and add it to the "Smart from an Ant's View" thread that didn't go very far a few months ago. Zombify!! Nice macro.

what thread of ant's view? I'd rather a thread on "Aunt's View" (mine is 91) - She loved riding in zippy, but sadly no pics...

Something else they should have pepto'd with the tow bolt covers, lower valances?

Those aren't tow bolt covers. They're backup sensors:

Add that to "real problems I have had so far" My back up sensors don't work

Now back to Suzy's question, What that is, is a realy hard place to clean.
