Hi!
I found a bolt that sticks up through my carpet in the trunk, does anyone know what it's for and if it's safe to remove it? (carpet removed in the picture!  )

Yeah, definitely not stock....I am working on my 95 Hatchback and I don't have one either in that spot.
Now...what it is holding? Not sure....might require a crawl under the car

Yeah, I agree with you guys...doesn't look stock. Supose it just to take the "hard" way and crawl under the car and take a look. Just tought I might tried this forum first, you never know how much information theri is, someone might have hade the same problem...

Yeah. Ground. Why someone chose that exact spot, I have no idea.
