Zofix Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 What a PITA to get that plastic trim off the hatch! It is held buy 10+ metal clips and when I took it off 3 of the metal clips feel into the hatch and I cant reach or see them! Did anyone else have this problem and what did you do?![ANGRY][/ANGRY] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 A magnet on a telescopic or bendy screwdriver will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodilx6 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yep, had the same issue twice. Aaalway happen when you remove the spoiler As mentioned above, get a good telescopic magnet and spend a few minutes fishing. If its stuck in there, I've had luck with closing the hatch and hitting it by hand to rattle the bolt loose again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zofix Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 I removed the 4 bolts holding the spoiler, but the spoiler wont come off, I really used a lot of force to try get it off, is there no more than the 4 bolts holding it?

bradleyh_15 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 4 bolts and 2 plastic things (technical I know) that go from the spoiler into the boot! give it a good firm tug one side then the other and mine just popped off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zofix Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 The plastic things needs to be removed too? or is it just clips? I removed the 4 bolts, 2 in each side.. Where do you want me to hit it from.. It can no way be just ripped off I really used alot of force.. I think something will get damaged..

bradleyh_15 Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 nope no need to remove anything else! I just grabbed hold one side and gave it a very firm tug! I also got very frustrated then it finally popped off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zofix Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 It wont slip in the front (close to the rear screen) in both sides, it is like something is holding it! it is completely free in the back in both sides. I don't know what to do:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
