Fiesta Tailgate panel - 2015

[markfitz59]

Hi everyone, 

 

New to the forum, not new to owning a Ford. 

 

On here to look for a bit of help sourcing a rear tailgate panel for a 2015 Fiesta.

It's the panel that is above the rear plate and encases the badge (see image). 

Stupidly cracked it against a gate reversing in the dark recently. 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks!

I think that it's a complete tailgate you'll need.

Check out these. Carriage might be your biggest cost.

Not true  

The tailgate panel is accessible by removing the inner boot trim and the cover can then be removed by removing the six nuts.

Can be purchased on their own but are pretty expensive brand new and will have to be painted.

A whole second hand hatch could cause you many heart aches!....  Any damages not shown in pics -Scratches - wiper & electrics all removed. How the part has been stored! Damage to the  paint on the edges of the lower & upper parts, See so many parts stacked together and on concrete, not good at all.

If you do spot a whole hatch in the blue colour, ask the seller if you can buy just the panel and not the whole hatch ? Or if you have to buy a whole hatch, then buy it and remove the panel and re-fit it into your hatch, this will save you loads of hassle in removing the original and messing about re-aligning it and getting it to shut properly.

Appologies, I never realised that was a seperate panel. I live and learn.

Brilliant thanks! Yeah think I'll try and just replace the panel if I can, there was a minor dent below the plate but I've got this sorted.

You got a replacement part yet ? This 'looks' the colour as your car ?
