Mk7 Zetec S Tailgate Removal

[OwenL]

)Whoops, its a fezzy!)

...And refitting of new 'un.

How hard is it to do? and how do i do it :)?

A Flatbed reversed into my "new to me" zetec s today! want my car back asap so might remove the ruined tailgate myself and fit a new one from a car down my local scrappy (same colour and model, in good nick so no dramas there)

Their insurance seems like itll pay out, just wanna see if they'd give me cash and let me buy and fit it myself.

cheers, Owen.

HI Owen,

If they will pay out for it, leave it to a garage. that would ensure that there is some warranty with the work done, so any issues would be resolved.

ok cheers, it was just a route i was exploring, cheers :)

no worries. Its one of those jobs where you can do it yourself if you need to keep the costs down, but if they are going to accept liability, then just let them pay out the full cost for a 'proper job' rather than a budget job.
