Hello, i needed to remove the big black part in plastic inside the rear liftgate.




I broke the 2 corner parts to open view to the rear lights. I had to glue it One has even lost a pin ...



Removing the panel was quite easy but needed some force to apply.
Everything has been done and i will see if i can buy new corner parts i broke.

There a bit hard to pull off but glad you did it

Helllo Dani.
thanks by the pictures, you have a good machine mate.

be carefull with the screws....

your spanish friend

I made a tutorial for this for the 5 door which is on this site...should have been applicable to the 3 door I guess but oh well, least you sorted it! And don't worrt about the broken clips...I've broken about 20 around the car doing all my mods and retorfits and everything still feels solid lol

Thanks, i found the tutorial : https://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-How...Door-Panel
The unique difference is we have only one door handle in the GTC/VXR and only one screw to remove.
I also used those plastic parts to unmount bicycle tyres. You seem to have used the same thing.
It helps a lot and avoid scratching the paint ...



Looking on your other tutorials. Thanks.

loads for you to have a go at in there
