| warning -- removing rear door wheel arches |
|
Right ...i have removed the wheel arches on various D3's many times with no problem .
Today i found that for some reason LR have used different clips on the D4 rear door arches . The original clips which are still fitted to the front and back panel arch are great as they seperate and dont break . The new ones do not seprate and are hard plastic ...so when you try and pull them off , they stay in the metalwork and rip out of the locating tabs in the arch its self . This has basically made this arch completly useless now as there is no way to re attached the locating pins 
I went to LR and got 26 original D3 clips ( 13 for each side ) and replaced them , and at a cost of £20
So ...just a warning if any one has to remove the small arch on the rear doors ..be very carefull ( although i still cant see a way around it ) G4 Gone ...but not forgotten
