Broken Tailgate centre light bar

[Milkpobbs]

Hi,

”Gutted” I parked in an underground car park and opened the tailgate on my UX and it hit the ceiling and cracked my light bar. I have managed to source one, but does anyone have an idea how to remove the rear panel so I can replace it?

Completed, really easy.

Hi, could you share your experience? Some details on the work.

Thank you

Hi,

The panel on the inside of tailgate pulled off without any tools pretty easy. Once the cover was removed, I found the 4 nuts (2 each side) and took them off with a long bar socket wrench. Then it was a matter of putting some pressure on the light bar I was removing as it was held in by arrow head clips. Once these were removed, I unplugged the unit from the electric block joint and removed it from the car completely. And replaced with my new light bar doing the reverse of what I did to remove it.

Thank You, well done!
