How can I remove the liner in the boot area?
Hi, I hope some kind person out there can help me with a job that is foxing me, but which, I'm sure, should be straightforward.
My car is a Y reg (2001) V40, and the nearside rear shock absorber needs replacing. Access to the top of the shocker, it looks to me, is from inside the boot area. So I've just had a go at removing the liner on the nearside of the boot. I have removed three fixings: one black plastic plug near the tailgate, one small grey screw revealed when you put the back seat down and one metal screw on the LHS of the central section that covers the spare wheel (technically not what I want to remove, but I figured I'd need some space around there). But it's still just as fixed as it was before! Can you please tell me where the rest of the fixings are? Thanks :0) |

When I did it I removed everything haha.
There was a fixing down by the tailgate pop the interior light out and theres a screw behind there One behind the d pillar speaker 1 bung in the top of the rear quarter window trim where the aprcel shelf sits one screw in the end of the pin for the parcel shelf Then you need to pull those bits of trim off from the d pillar and under the window (they are clipped in) then i removed the bolt under the rear seat base to remove the bolster edge, one screw behind that Undid both the screws that hold the boot base in and then you should be able to manhandle the carpet out of the way enough to get to the shock top. There could be a less involved way to do it but thats the way I found to get to it. |

Success!!!!
Grateful thanks for your generous assistance, Antz. The "screw in the end of the pin for the parcel shelf" was key!!! :0) Last edited by Ingleborough; Sep 17th, 2013 at 15:02. |
