My IVA man didn't ask me to remove any panels.

My car went through the SVA without anything to close off the boot area. I just used plenty of titenfast to cover any edges.

I don't think they are allowed to remove anything for access. On the other hand they will certainly want to look at ther rear seat belt mounts. If you close off the rear area with an opening hatch, as most people seem to do, I guess they will just use the hatch for access.

IVA procedure does say that you MAY be required to dismantle components for inspection.

My IVA man looked at the rear seatbelt mounts briefly, but with a Cabrio I only had to open the boot.
