How to remove your boot trim

[muddyboots]

As quite a few people are suffering Ye Olde "rear washer pipe popped off in the frost" problem, I knocked up a guide on how to get your boot trim off, complete with some photos.

Hope this is useful

I've checked the price with dlever at IMG Seat and they will do it for 26 quid including p+p.

I missed the colour code off of the part number above though so it should be:

6L6 867 601 F 4w4

Worth getting if yours is holding on by 1 clip and rattling like mad

The neighbours think I'm sad, but I often take photos as I'm doing things.
I hadn't specifically thought of using these photos as a guide until I realised quite a few people would probably be needing to get to their washer pipework...!

Excellent guide.

Just a thought. If the pipe normally comes off the back of the wiper motor, would it be possible, while the trim is off, to cut a hole – say 50mm – in line with the motor and fit a blanking grommit to allow access for a pair of long nosed pliers if the pipe were to come off again. I suppose it wouldn't help if the pipe separates anywhere else but it is just an idea to save having to keep removing the trim.
