Some more stuff at the rear end sorted this weekend
Firstly the issue of the knackered keys was resolved. From the keys I picked up
To this. One of the keys is a pre project the other is one from the internet and possibly not the best quality but it works well so will do as the spare
Next was to change the worn rear window ZT trim. A job I was not looking forward to. So it went from this
To this. Not a perfect example but its a lot better
But getting there took a good couple of hours.
Firstly I carefully unclipped all the surround clips using a trim tool.
I had 4 x clips break which was not too bad and I cleaned out the channels and sealed the bottom clips in case they decided to leak in the future
The clips were then refitted and broken ones replaced
Then it was clipped back in to give me the finished article
Next was the wobbly boot hinges. I have not seen this before on a R75/ZT but they were really loose
A second hand set were sourced, cleaned off and Sprayed
and then fitted. I left the boot lid in place and did one side at a time so I could manage the panel gap. There was a lot of muck behind the hinges
whilst cleaning the muck away I also cleaned the channels and polished them to match the newly sprayed hinges
The boot lid was then cleaned and polish internally to match everything else
These hinges are a lot better and very sturdy so I am not sure why the others were so worn. Finally the panel gaps were checked which seem good but that is with my eyesight
There is only one more really important job to do on the rear end which I cant do at the moment so its onto the interior which I have just started
