REAR QUARTER PANEL REMOVAL

Start by inserting a slim pallet knife under the trim so as not to mark the panel. You then need to carefully use a flat head screw drive to pop the trim off.





This will then reveal a single cross head screw fixing which you need to remove.



Next, remove the lower hex fixing.



And the 3 hex fixings at the upper rear where it meet the C pillar trim.



Working from the door aperture, pull back the weather seal and start to release the pop fixings. Some will brake so you should order some in advance: PN-980145155 £0.79 each.



Once all released, the panel can be removed from the car.
