ValiantSaint Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi everyone, I have managed to get hold of a decent second hand tailgate for my mate's 1998 (MK7?) Escort estate. I need a bit of help with the fitting of it, though. What's the best way to go about it? Also, is it always a must that you use de-ionized water when flushing a radiator and replacing the anti-freeze? Thanks : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The wiring can be a pain in the tail gate, but when you unbolt it and lift it away, clean the boot mounts as a lot of the electrics in the boot are earthed out through the boot hinges 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValiantSaint Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Me and my mate tried to fit the tailgate, but made a bit of a hash of it. You see, the tailgate I bought had the wiring cut, so me and my friend were going to pull the wiring out of the old tailgate, not realising that it went right round the whole tailgate and not just into the brake light as it looked! Not we are going to have to find a way of running the old wiring back through the tailgate. What's the easiest way of unclipping the rubber grommet that houses the wiring at the top of the tailgate? Thanks : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
