C5 X7 Tourer Tailgate Trim

[MattBLancs]

How accessible is the pipe from the point where you see it at the top of the boot door forwards to the front of the car? Do you have to undo loads of stuff or will it pull through from somewhere convenient?

If you pull the big oval grommet out of the bodywork, then there's is a straight connector just behind. I was able to pull this out just enough to decouple the ridged pipe and add a new piece (I've just used the standard clear "washer tube" rather than genuine pipe)


Those who managed not to break any clips performed a minor miracle in my opinion, not a single one survived, despite my attempts to be gentle!

I done mine when I first bought the car and used clear pipe I had around. I broke all the clips and damaged the clip holder on the right hand trim piece. The clips are brittle and too tight designed never to come off I think.
