Any pointers/guides for removing boot plastics (Interior plastics, not the hatch plastics)
Got some leaking that seems to be gathering under them and want to check for damage (passenger side)
 
You have to take off the rear quarters by the rear seats to get them out completely.
You can prise them out of the way a little to get into the back.

But as above be careful as they can crack and break clips
 
My top tip would be...
Get some nylon trim tools, you can buy them from eBay etc. Make sure you do it somewhere warm too, the plastics are aged and brittle. Trust me you don’t want to break anything.
 
Ah just yank that shit about andy 👍 don't forget to take your rear washer filler cap off before taking the rear panel out too 👍
Also it may be your rear hatch mate 👍 the spoilers tend to leak through the bolt holes! Easy fix is to put some rubber washers in but good luck getting that fecking spoiler off! Took me ages and hacked the fuck out of the nuts with a dremmel type thing! Was a twat!
 
If you want to remove the boot side trims completely then there is 2x M6 nuts along the boot floor on each side. There is two more M6 nuts where the trim clips to just behind the wheel well on each side. There’s one plastic pop clip thing on each side behind rear quarter trims. One M6 nut on each strut tower. Then on the drivers side you have two plastic pop clips where the wheel jack and tools are. On the passenger side there is one pop clip where the upper tool tray is. Off the top of my head that should be it
