Avant Tailgate Trim Removal Instructions
Avant Tailgate Trim Removal Instructions
First off, let me say that I should only get credit for posting this, as I didn’t write it. I got this off the old S4 list from a LONG time ago, and had the instructions on paper.
I figured they should be part of this thread.
QUOTED FROM AN OLD EMAIL COPY FROM Mr. Chris Gharibo.
I’d like to contribute the following piece for the Avant owners out there.
———————————————
The tailgate trim on the Avant is absolutely the most sinister piece of interior trim I have ever removed. It is simply Evil. I’d like to contribute the following explanation to the Avant owners. Take my word, and archive the following description. Otherwise, you will most likely break various parts off your tailgate trim if you ever need to go in there. TRUST ME!!!
First, remove the two screws holding the two hooks for the sun screen. Then, unsnap the top moddle piece in four locations. Unsnap L and R side plastic pieces by pulling the trim pieces towards center.
Next, remove the 2 black scres underneath the latch and one screw on each side of the bottom panel. Pop out the secret flap type compartments of the lateral parts of the carpeted section with a flat screwdriver. These hidden compartments correspond to an area behind each tailight. Unscrew one HIDDEN screw behind each secret panel.
Now, at the bottom of the handle trim below the torx screws are two very small holes. Find a thin long object like a nail and push in to the two holes. (I told you this was evil). When you’ve pushed them down far enough the handle trim will simply seperate from the tailgate trim. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE OUT THE TORX SCREWS IN THE DOOR HANDLE.
Now, careful pulling in different sections top and bottom should free up the whole thing. You can also reach in and pinch the inner portion of the clamp while pulling that portion of the panel out. The whole thing falls right in to your hands.
Re-installing, should be somewhat of a reversal of the removal procedure found above.
Hope this helps someone out there.
