Removing rear hatch piece??

[NathanJax]

thanks for all the help...what if pulling it while unscrewing doesnt work? just rip the damn thing off?

yup. like i said, you already broke it.

so with all the bolts busted is it still useable if i were to somehow glue the bolts back onto the applique? or is ripping it off going to cause more damage to the applique? and just not even be repairable. that part seems really expensive for just a piece of plastic.. know anywhere where i can buy a new black one at? i'd like to keep my bow tie so not really interested in the denali one.

yes it will still be usable, it just depends on how bad you bust it and how much time you have to fix it. You'll have to buy some epoxy and do a little "Macgyver-ing" .


Like I said, I'll take pics when I get home and post them for you to see
