Hi guys. Well finally managed to get the bloody rear trim off and replce the boot badge (which was really easy). I noticed 2 things in doing this change over that I would apprecaite comments on.
Firstly, my old smooth badge sat pretty much flush with the boot lid, whereas the new profiled one sits a little proud. It's nothing bad or anything, just different (see pics below). I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this ?
Secondly, when I removed the old unit is was really heavy, like it was all made of metal. The new one seems very light and all made of plastic. Is that right, are all the new ones the same ?
P.s Sorry about the dirty car, haven't had time to wash it recently.
There was one good bit of news however. For the last couple of years I have been having a rattle come from the boot area that I couldn't for the life of me trace. As soon as I removed the inner boot cover, I saw that the wiring harness that runs across the bootlid to the rear foglight (with a large beige connector in it), was dangling free and obviously hitting the inside of the bootlid. When I looked at the same harness but for the reverse light, I noticed that the beige connector fitted into a special back clip in the boot aperture to keep it from rattling. I had the same clip on the fog light side but the connector had obviously fallen out. I snapped it back in (and taped it in for good measure) and hey presto, the rattle has now gone !
