I changed one on my own the other day just put a towel on the boot lip so that you can rest it whilst doing the first bit. take you about half hour if you have a decent buzz gun!________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |

How do you remove the rubber gromets to take of the existing one?JUst pull? I assume that theres a connector underneath to disconnect? I also assume its better to remove from the boot end rather than the shell? ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

You need to remove/loosen rear right hand side trim, 3 connectors hidden behind it. Pull rubber out then feed the connectors through one by one, this is a faf and small fingers/patience helps. You'll need to sort the wiper pipe out too which feeds in under the roof lining iirc there is a connector that joins into the boot.________________________________________ Black X Reg PIII.VGTi 6 A4212 pt 1 A4212 pt 2 Searching the streets of Bristol for 1.36p/day.Joint Kent Leader |

Did u just unplug the wiring from central locking n wiper motor etc then when old boot was off the wiring came out then u fed it back through, or is there a plug link inside the roof lining area like the water pipe?________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

I was just going to re connect the wiring from the new boot, bascially juts what thug said.Anyways, As it turns out i prepped the whole car, removed all the connections and fed them all out and finally was ready to un bolt the old one, Then when i let the new "pretty much mint" boot down on the ground, It had three dings in the bottom of the panel, A chip in the edge and two slight creases along the top edge.So basically not wirth doing. To say i am miffed is an understandment, When i looked at the packaging i realised it wasnt missing the wiper arm at all rather it was led in the bottom of the box snapped. Wasted about 2 hours then.. ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |
