Getting to Rear Strut Brace Cover

Recommended Posts

I think that I have finally tracked down a noise that has been bugging me for some time. I found that I could stop it by throwing a coat over the Rear Strut Brace Cover. I think that the cover is rattling, but just to be sure I would like to remove it, and look inside for anything else that might be loose.

 

I have had a look at the technical bulletins, but they seem to indicate virtually all of the rear trim must be removed to gain access to the strut. Is this so, or is there a simpler way in ?

 

It's an 08 Coupe.

Many thanks... some good tips here.

 

It looks like a trim removal tool would make the job much easier, so I will see if there are any on eBay.

 

Cheers

trim removal tools should cost pennies, can pick them up from machine mart or something if i recall :)
