Replacing rear bumper trim on a Mk1 xantia

Unread post by mirafioriman »

I've managed to find a new rear bumper trim for my Mk 1 Xantia hatch :) Anyone got any tips for replacement?

Gently lever out the trim somewhere in the middle then pull it out of the corners, replacement is a reversal of removal. It's easier to do it if you remove the bumper as you can also push it out from behind.
