Title: Estate tailgate rust
Post by: venom on 17 April 2011, 10:49:26

My estate has the obligatory rust under the rear wiper, now can you remove the rear screen or is it bonded in, if it is  bonded how can you repair it properly so it wont come back in a year or so.

The rear screen is glued in position, if you want to remove the rust properly then the window will have to come out...

Cheers Brikhead I've sent him a message :y but if he wont sell it for what I've offered can the screen be removed without breaking it?

It is possible to remove screens that are bonded in, whether they break or not all depends on how careful/lucky you are!

Identical, it's just the plastic trims that are different.

Sfunny, I've just acquired an old 'P' reg estate that has virtually no rust on the tailgate, yet the newer, facelift, 'W' reg tailgate that I still have in my garden does have slight rust under the wiper arm...
