How to remove the Rear tailgate Trim Volkswagen Passat B8

You will like to remove the rear tailgate trim panel on your VW Passat B8 when you rear wiper is not working or the boot locking mechanism is not working, or in my case, I didn't have space to clean and tint the window. The tailgate panel has 2 screws Torx 20mm and metal clips.

For the second part(2:34). Mine is popping up on the left corner, is it because the metal clip is not properly pushed back?
How do I push it back correctly without removing the whole thing?

Great video thanks.

Thanks for the video! Used it today to replace the drain/breather pipe that runs from the bottom of the boot release to the bottom of the lid. Do you know what the purpose of this pipe is?

[@ptrsqionut]

The water from the latch drains trough it!

[@issish6476]

Hi, can i remove this trim while the boot s closed from inside? My boot latch is broken and i cant open the boot even with emergency leaver. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[@DejanSimic89]

Issi Sh i have same problem

[@issish6476]

@@DejanSimic89 I sorted mine in the end but i ended up with a couple of holes on the boot card and a few scratches on my arms. I had to buy a new catch from vw for 50£. Let me know if you need any help

[@Bicycle789]

Yes u can do it from inside. Its dificult but its posible. When u remove plastic panel there ste just two nuts. Remove it a d then u can open trunk. After that change lock and work its done
