Default Wagon Trunk trim

Does anyone know how to remove the trunk trim to access the lock cylinder to lubricate.....or for that matter to change the tail brake light/turn signal.

I remove 2 screws in the front, two on the side and two hex on the latch underneath....but couldn't get the trim off.

Thnks

Default You have to remove the trim from above the glass....

at the top of the tailgate, then one of the side pieces. The top piece is on pop in fixings so if you lever the centre out a bit you will see it start to come away. The side pieces are held by a push-in metal clip which is itself pushed onto the inside of the tailgate. To remove it, pull it straight down (with the gate fully open). Only once one of the side trims is removed can you get the lower interior panel off. It still requires screws removing. I think there are two in the handle, two on the bottom edge and possibly two on the outer edge.
Forgive me if this is inaccurate because I no longer have a C4 and I should stop postiung here but I cannot resist it now and again.

I recently changed a brake light, it's accessed behind the lens cover but NOT in the lift gate! Easy

Default To change a bulb in the liftgate, you gain access via the inner fabric trim that has a rounded end..

The flap rotates outward with the rounded edge (it pivots on the opposite vertical edge). I discovered this after changing a broken lens by attempting to remove the complete liftgate trim, which I never did manage to remove. I only need to open this flap, unbolt the lens, and install the new one.
