I got a rattle inside my boot panel behind the plastic i undid the two torx screws and im guessing that the boot panel pops off but seemed like it didnt want to budge? can someone give me some knowlege as to how exactly it comes off? cheers.
 
You have to give it a serious downwards pull from both sides.

It is held on with 6 ( i think ) plastic clips that you have to disengage.

When I first did this I thought -'no way' but it does pull off. Start with the top ( nearest rear screen ) on either side and then transfer to the other side. It really needs a damn good 'yank'.

It will come off, believe me and when you put it back make sure that the plastic clips are correctly positioned before you snap it back. Otherwise you could break the clip.

Good luck. :thumbsup:
 
I think that might be what the rattle is. someone may have broken one of the clips.... Dont really want to buy a new panel. okay thanks for that mate ill give it a go tomorrow
