Has anyone removed the plastic rear upper quarter panels? How is it done? Do you have to remove the upper hatch struts? TIA

Load of "Cobblers" they are avaliable seperately, but they are not cheap £140.00 each in the U.K.andyaa said:I had enquired with Land Rover and was told that if I wanted new ones I had to get the glass as well which was prohibitively expensive.
Yes, that's what I understand. One of my trims had been removed by the dealer (for previous owner) to fix a leak in the rear window. The dealer glued it back on with some sort of heat softening mastic that kept dribbling down the window. I got sick of it and pulled it off, cleaned it all up, and reglued it to the window.Max said:The trim part that the dealer was probably referring to is the one on top, bottom, and part of the D pillar, that surrounds the other 3 sides of the quarter window, thats only available with the glass.

What type of glue did you use when you glue the piece back on? Mine had a black goop substance on it, im assuming its something specific for windshields and glass. Thanks.
I didn't think there was any adhesive there. There wasn't on either quarter panel on mine.viperover said:Gee, you're all lucky cos the ones I've seen over here the glass normally breaks as the adhesive is so strong where its attached to the panel on the front edge....
