C5 III Tourer tailgate, remove inner panel

Post by Richard_C »

Tis the season to spend time on the little jobs I've been meaning to do for ages. Today I successfully wrestled a new bulb into the C3 heater control panel, now to the C5 Tourer. There is an annoying little rattle coming from inside the tailgate, maybe around the rear wiper motor or wiring to it.

Getting the inner plastic panel off is a bit of a mystery, any clues before I break something?

Thanks for this, really useful. Looks straightforward but I will wait a few days and do it when I can take my time.

(For anyone else interested, the filedropper link didn't want to work in IE11 on Windows 8.1, but worked perfectly in Google Chrome)

ha, my tailgate also has an annoying rattle. Its like there is a little stone that moves up when you open the boot and back down again when you close it.

Maybe one of the wire clips broke into pieces, that are covered behind the plastic sections

you might be bang on the money with that. Its a replacement tailgate thats been fitted to mine so there is every chance something was broken when it was refitted

It's not a bad job really.
There's four screws along the bottom (under caps) and a pile of plastic clips (two of which can be seen under the light access panels).
Unfortunately some of the clips will break but apart from that you can't really go wrong.
Spare clips aren't then end of the world off ebay...

...I think they're the ones.

Yep, the majority of the clips are p/n 9341pf as per Lenny's eBay link. They're used in quite a few places in the C5 so it's worth getting a load in stock :)
Sadly no longer a C5 owner :(

As you can see, there are two parts. Both are attached with clips. Stretch first from the central part and then from the sides.
