Haha if I'm ordering that many rolls of wrap for the bridge maybe I'll get a discount! 4-5 rolls should do it
Thanks when I bought this car I had an intention to try and do everything DIY as a means of pushing myself a bit so hopefully the list of completed jobs keeps growing!
Ah so I did do the relocate as per "usual" - removed the parcel shelf and spent most my time in the boot. The shelf has to come out if you are to do the relocate no other way!ben g wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 4:04 pm How comes you removed the top cover? I thought everyone goes from underneath the parcel shelf, without touching anything above? Only reason I ask is because I removed that cover last year to replace my rear shock absorbers, so will do it again if that makes the job easier, but I'm also aware that they are quite difficult to remove
Ah OK, that makes sense. I did wonder how people manage to do everything from inside the boot think I'm going to give this a go myself also, so appreciate the photos and tipstomrdy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 13, 2019 1:03 amThanks when I bought this car I had an intention to try and do everything DIY as a means of pushing myself a bit so hopefully the list of completed jobs keeps growing!

Maybe my post wasn't clear but I only went from the front to get better leverage to unseat the parts (top cap, motor, lower casing). I just couldn't get the right leverage from the boot side with my arm squeezed in. Maybe I have weak wrists and forearms after I unseated everything I continued to remove them through the boot.
