Hi, New to the site!

Have looked around to see if this had already been asked but no joy! I'm
trying to remove the interior trim from the boot door, so that I can get at
the wiper mechanism (water hose has become loose & leaking). I have now
broken 3 pieces of trim & it wont budge any further!! Haha!!

Anyone able to help??
Cheers,
Mark

I also should have said that I have removed the 2 screws from the hand holes,
and have also removed the covers to the light compartments too!

Thanks for the link! Looks very useful for future reference! Unfortunately it
seems to have everything except what I am needing!! lol

Cheers anyway!

Post a question there then. Someone will know. I've removed that trim on
my A3 and it was a case of removing the screws in the pull handle and
then carefully levering the trim off- it was stiff. Never done a Leon
though...

Probably the same bit of trim.

I did wonder. The Leon has the A3's dash, for a start.

The left hand side seems to want to come away, but is stopped after just a
couple of millimeters....probably as a result of me snapping something inside!
The right side just wont budge at all. There does seem to be some sort of
slots around the edges but it's virtually impossible to see inside! I did
wonder whether I might actually have to disassemble the rear wiper arm &
mechanism......then I went inside & had a cup of tea & was not seen again!!
lol

I did try & see how I could add a post on that site, but was unable to see
how to register! Think I'll just need to keep pushing & pulling!! lol

Cheers for the replies!!
