Backdoor (Hatchback) — removal and installation

1. You will need an assistant. First, with the trunk lid open, place a thick cloth pad below each front corner to protect the paint.

2. Remove the left door pillar trim panel and disconnect the electrical wiring. Remove the rubber sleeve from the top of the rack and remove the electrical wiring. Disconnect the rear window washer pipe.

3. Support the rear door, then separate the two pillars.

4. Make a mark around the hinges on the rear door, then unscrew the hinge nuts and remove the rear door.

5. If necessary, roof and ceiling trim can be removed to allow access to bolts.

6. Reassemble in the reverse order, but check all adjustments before tightening the rear door hinge.

7. To remove the rear door trim panel (see Chapter 33 of this Section) unscrew its locking nuts and pull out the plastic brackets. Remove the panel, noting the position of the seal. Assembly is carried out in reverse order.
