Estate tailgate rust (Read 1035 times)

venom Intermediate Member Offline Posts: 313 South Moreton, Oxfordshire Gender: Drives: 1997 2.5 CDX Estate	Estate tailgate rust 17. Apr 2011 at 10:49 My estate has the obligatory rust under the rear wiper, now can you remove the rear screen or is it bonded in, if it is bonded how can you repair it properly so it wont come back in a year or so.

Cheers Brikhead I've sent him a message but if he wont sell it for what I've offered can the screen be removed without breaking it?
