hello everyone inside my boot the grey plastic plate wont come off to allow me to get to wiper motoe and rear middle lights.

as some of the plastic tabs have been cross threaded in past are they riveted or tap in plugs/screws can i break them/replace them?

 

anyone know exactly if they are plastic screws or what? any help would be great cheers andy dont feel like plastic screws but not sure?

it's just a rectangular fixing in a rectangular hole in the tailgate frame, if you just keep turning beyond 90 degrees with a screwdriver you'll just chew them up.

Etka is the parts catalogue for the VAG group, it's got loads of pictures and exploded diagrams and also part numbers - proper handy.

 

But you can get very, very similar interior trim screws from halfords, can't remeber how much but they're well cheap
