REMOVAL

1. Detach the trim.

* Leave the cord in the trunk lid to make it easier to install the harness.

3. Mark the position of the trunk lid at the hinges with a felt-tip pen (arrow in the accompanying illustration).
4. Place a secure support under the trunk lid or have an assistant hold it.
5. Loosen screws (1) on the left and right. Remove screws (2).

6. Remove the trunk lid with the help of an assistant.

INSTALLATION

1. Position the trunk lid with the help of an assistant. Install screws (1) without tightening them.
2. Align the lid according to the marks and secure it with the screws.
3. If a new lid is installed, adjust its position.
4. Pull the cord with the electrical wires of the license plate lamp and central lock into the lid and connect the plug connector.
5. Install the trim and replace any damaged clips.
