Fabia I, rear tailgate door card removal

[waynef]

Hello people!

How do you remove the tailgate inner panel / so-called "door card", so that I can expose the internals?

I think the hose feeding water to the nozzle has come adrift. It is a '04 and has done 110,000+ miles, though. So I can't complain!

Thanks awfully. Happy Easter.

firm yank matey, they're held on by the same metal clips you get in the door cars if you know the ones?

It's not like the door card poppers, it's more like the ones that hold the side ones in. Like a T shaped curly clip where the T goes into the trim, and the point holds via compression in the chassis/boot.

But as said, a firm pull on it will get it off eventually (how rude does that sound?! :eek: )

Thank you! I went out earlier and bought a Haynes manual (gulp) and this made it as clear as mud

I have washer water coming out of the nozzle (a good thing) and water coming out of rear washer motor (a bad thing). The wiper arm is effectively "spot-welded" to the wiper-motor pivot too.

Any ideas what could be causing the motor downpour? The water seems to be coming out of the black plastic nozzle on the motor/interface and not the rubber pipe. Mores the pity else I'd just cut it down a bit.

Thanks.

Not sure why its not working but I can say that putting the tailgte trim back on is far easaier if you've got someone to help its and bsolute bit
