Removing and Refitting Hatch Interior Card

[hhcd80]

Has anyone got any experience of removing and refitting the interior card on the rear hatch? One of the clips securing it to rest of the rear hatch has come loose and fallen out (Possibly an oversight on the part of a local mechanic after some repair work was done) and I wanted to refit it but not sure where the clip goes. The only instructions I have seen are for a Superb hatchback and I am not sure how much it applies to an Octavia hatchback.

Have a look on the fitting a reversing camera thread, or look on u tube there is one video on fitting the camera which shows how the panels are removed.

 

Hope this helps

Removing
– Release screws -6- and remove the pull handle -5-.
– Remove cover for rear window wiper motor (Not sure what this is about as there doesn't appear to be one!)
– Unclip the plastic clips - 1 - in succession.
– Remove the trim panel - 2 - from the door - 7 -.

Installing
– Installation is carried out in the reverse order

I  take it this is from the workshop manual? Any similar directions for the upper bit of hatch interior trim as well?

Yup, from the workshop manual.

Just what I needed. Thank you all. Just need to wait for the weather to improve so I can do this without getting soaked by the thundery down pours
