Rear Washers /panel Removal

[dave62pb]

I need to remove the plastic panels to gain access to rear washers as think the pipe is blocked or split 

anybody know how the panels  are held in place , as  I don't want to break any clips or mountings

If it's a stow n go version lift the carpet on the right hand side of the rear well and find the washer tube, apparently fairly common for the tube connector to come apart there - mine had - so no fluid to the screen but the motor worked and the carpet got wet !!

 

Of course there may be a joint there on the normal version too, but I don't know about that!

Yes its stow n go , cant see how to get 1/4 panel off and didn't want break anything

You don't need to take the panel off, just gently but firmly pull the carpet out from under it, after removing the back edge trim. That takes a very firm tug as it's fixed with push in clips, but check the centre in case I forgot about any screws next to the latch!
