Removing plastic moulds from around ute rear screen

Recommended Posts

Does any one know how to remove the plastic moulds around the rear screen in an XF ute.

Tried prying them off with a flat head screw driver and can't budge them.

 

Thanks in advance

I just did this, massive job!

First, remove the rear window. Take it right out.

Next youve gotta try and peel the headlining back away from the rear window. Its probably gonna be glued along the rear edge, so you have to try and break the adhesive without breaking the headlining. Also completely remove your interior light.

It might also help to remove your rear vent window rubbers, and c pillar trims just so you can peel the headlining back far enough.

Once the headlining is back, if you reach up and feel along the top of the rear window you will feel 4 threads with nuts on poking through into the cab. Undo these nuts and the top trim will be loose. The same applies for the side plastics, there are two threads on each one that poke through into the cabin.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!

When you put it all back together you'll need to get some contact adhesive and glue the headling back along the ridge in the window. Otherwise when you put the window back in its liable to push the headlining down.

just a handy tip!
