How To: Boot Door Panel
#1
Hey All Smile

This is just a quick how to for removing the black trim which is inside the boot door (the bit which has the grab handles for closing the boot from the inside). 

So to begin with there are 2 x 7MM bolts which hold the lid firmly in place to the frame of the boot itself, you want to remove these first. There are located within the internal grab handles (one on each side).

Photo is of the hole where one of the bolts was removed from (will get a better photo soon). There is another on the other side too.

Once these are out you will simply need to use a prising tool to prise the black panel away from the boot frame. You just want to work your way all around the outside trim like so:

There wasn't really much to photo then but here is a picture after the plastic trim has been removed:

Each of the blue clips is one that holds the trim to the boot frame itself, you will need to work your way around the trim with the trim removal tool ensuring each of these is unclipped.

After that the trim will pull straight off Smile. It's pretty similar to the door card removal but it's miles easier! Also to get it back on you simply have to line up the blue clips to the corresponding holes in the boot frame and push! 

This is my first ever tutorial so hoping it isn't part of another on here (couldn't see that from my searches).

Ok, stripping car boot in order to find water leak.

I removed tailgate trim and foam tape around rear lights wiring was wet.

Then removed boot carpet and rear lower trim. It was also partially wet

Now I want to remove right side wall carpet thing. I guess I have to remove the black plastic trim on top but I cant remove it. How on earth can I remove it?

just pull the black shelf trim towards the otherside of the car, just a couple of clips hold it in place - once the coat hangers have been removed (which are already removed in the above photo)
