Removing Rear Quarter Badges And Arches

[205_sunderland 4]

The car is going into the body shop next week for rear quarters,sills and bumpers and the rear badges are orginal and never removed so im gutted there coming off, can they be removed without breaking? and also can anyone give pointers of the best ways to remove the rear arches and back bumper with minimal damage

 

cheers mick

The badges can be pushed out from behind rather than prying them off. I think you can get to the back of them through the rear speaker holes.

rear arches have clips inside the arch which flick off or pop off. Back bumper side bolts will probably snap and you will have to drill the rivets off the valance support brackets.

i dont get why you slide them towards the closed end? is that to keep the bits there fitted onto in place?

Bloody hell definately wouldnt follow that guide to remove the sunroof trims.

Think that needs editing.

For when you refit the badges, i always use some flexible silicone to hold them in place over the holes, so it stops any water getting in and rusting the rear quarter area.
