DreamCatcher88 Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 Is this considered typical? Is this intended to have a moving mechanism when pressure is applied? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WHH2Y8f1kXgUI-ipnj7wzBsCPcV5SuRN/view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyPixel Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 Was any maintenance performed on the liftgate? There might be some clips or bolts that are inadequately secured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamCatcher88 Posted April 24, 2024 Author Share Posted April 24, 2024 The service centre performed various repairs. I requested that they replace the internal taillights with the lit ones. If possible, could you indicate in your photo the clips or bolts that secure this panel? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyPixel Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 Indeed, there was certainly an error in reinstalling that component. It is probable that at least one of the four blue clips is not firmly attached. Attempt applying gentle pressure to the panel in order to see whether it may be securely fastened by engaging a clicking mechanism. If the previous solution proves ineffective, it is advisable to dismantle the interior trim components in order to gain visibility and understand the situation at hand.

DreamCatcher88 Posted April 24, 2024 Author Share Posted April 24, 2024 Appreciation is expressed. If applying force does not provide results, should I remove the full rear trim or simply the higher portion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyPixel Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 I am uncertain about your query, however to see the blue pins, it is necessary to remove the complete panel, which entails removing the top piece and two side pillar sections first. Below is a concise and informative YouTube video that demonstrates the fundamental procedures. Although the video features a different model, the method is practically identical: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamCatcher88 Posted April 24, 2024 Author Share Posted April 24, 2024 Appreciation is extended. In my opinion, an error was made during the installation of the taillights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicebubby8 Posted April 24, 2024 Share Posted April 24, 2024 There is a little amount of movement in that panel on my vehicle as well. The presence of foam between the blue clips and the body is the reason. Your movement is little more pronounced than normal. As others have said, attempt to use inward force to move them. However, this would also need the bolts to be tightened in a parallel manner to accommodate the newly created gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
