Hello RRS fans! my first post and its a technical question, sorry if it is in the wrong place! so, had a fault with my rear power boot power strut and need to replace it, so brought a new one no worries, I am just wondering if anyone has a how to or can advise how I access the cable that i need to unplug to remove the faulty strut? it disappears in to the boot bodywork somewhere.
Thanks in advanced

You need to remove the tailgate interior trim panel to be able to unplug the connector.

Thanks, is it just clipped off, so pull it?

Thanks

Basically yes but there are a couple of screws behind the handle on the left hand lower edge of the tailgate that have to be removed.

Have a look at this workshop manual procedure. Interesting really as I thought the one piece tailgate came in on MY12 on cars.

Absolute Ledge mate, exactly what I was looking for

Thanks

I replaced a strut a few months ago. You need something to prop the tailgate open whilst you are changing the strut over, the single remaining strut will not hold the weight. It is also useful to have a second pair of hands to hold the trim in place whilst you are getting the clips lined up. Otherwise a straightforward job.
