the support is i believe welded in, howver i can't remember, it may be plastic and screwed in, but i can't remember, even if it is welded in just grind the welds off and if you need to put it back on drill holes for some bolts and away you go. why are you taking the support of anyways? id say just grind it off but be gentle with it.

no way my man, that dog doesn't hunt. I can find one in the junk yard a family friend owns. I am going to waste my time and try to pull the damge out. The odd thing is I found a cabrio with same damage. When I took the car to work my dad stated did somebody back into it, which is the story that was with the car when I bought it, or did they try to move it out of the way.
