Removing tailgate struts /interior access panel

Featured Replies

Hi, can you help? I'm trying to replace my broken tailgate struts (usual thing with the kinked wire loom breaking - poor design there skoda). I can't for the life of me get the interior panel off to access the electrical loom. I've pulled really hard in different ways and it's surely going to break. How do I get the panel off?

Hi, welcome,  The tailgate struts have a clip, no need to remove any panels.

 

See the following video as an example. -

Hi, 

Thanks but mine's a skoda superb mk3 with electric struts. To get the wiring loom out needs a panel removed inside the boot area.

Many apologies, I've never even seen electric struts let alone know how they differ.

 

For panels often some kind of plastic tool is best used but where and how much muscle you need on your car I've no idea.  You may be best posting in the 'Skoda Superb Mk III (2015 - 2023)' forum for more and better detailed replies. - https://www.briskoda.net/forums/forum/299-skoda-superb-mk-iii-2015-2023/

 

You could also see if the WSM is on here. - https://cardiagn.com/skoda/skoda-superb/
