mattowen72 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 I have just brought a freelander, but the stupid missus reversed into a concrete post (On the 2nd day) pushing the spare wheel against the bodywork and leaving a dent. I looks easy enough to push out as the paint is not cracked, but I need to get the tailgate panel out to pop it back out. As I am totally new to owning a freelander, all advice is most welcome as I don't want to pay excessive garage fees. Cheers, Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blippie Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Assuming you mean the plastic trim inside the tail gate ... Remove the four screws along the bottom of the tailgate below the "door pocket". The panel is then held on by push on clips, three on each side, two at the bottom. Use a wide screw driver (or someone with thin fingers) to release the clips. Pull the panel out from the bottom, and unhook the top from five further clips.

Aven Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Any advise on how to remove the front passenger door panel of a Freelander and then repair its electric window that stops short of closing by a couple of inches? Any help gratefully received!! Cheers Aven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blippie Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Prise off the black trangular bit by the door mirror. Open the door using the interior handle - there's a screw behind it - undo this and the two other screws and remove the handle. Then it's pretty similar to the rear tail door: Undo half a dozen screws around the door pocket, prise the sides off and then lift the top edge off.
