Whoever said replacing the rear badge was easy...WTF
« on: March 11, 2011, 09:52:46 pm »
Removing the rear wiper arm was impossible....i tried pulling hard, levering it off, I even resorted to a rubber mallet......in the end I found that when the motor is undone then you can move it enough to get in to the last nut to get it off......

AND the boot door liner.....what a nightmare.....fingers were red raw and those metal clips don't like coming out  :surprised:

But I got it done......my estimated 20 minute job took an hour  :surprised:

Flipping DV was easier to change.

I hurt myself a few times doing mine, and still don't have the liner back in place properly!
Could have told you about not needing to take the wiper motor off though!  :happy2:
