going back to OEM advice pls

[shimmy]

my car is virtually OEM for winter now so i spent the day cleaning the engine bay and boot and refitting the boot trims, OEM battery and bits and bobs

BUT cant work out which fixings i saved secure the side grey trim panels in the boot to the metalwork.

Can anybody help, there seems to be 2-3 holes to secure through but my box of bits dont seem to have the right ones!

Are you referring to the 2x trays either side in the boot?
If so these are expanding rivets part no: 8166702

i thought the trays had the plastic locking buttons 8248015

but looking at realoem the 8166702 you mention are for the side material trim i think;)

Sorry yeah getting confused, the 1s for the tray are 8248015 (locking button) with flat head slot, real bugger to get em out I remember. The expanding rivets are for the triangle clamp and boot carpet liner. :thumbs:

think i need a couple of both anyway!:thumbs:

and whats the tiny hole in the RHD side liner above the battery area? Ive def got nothing that fits in there (but apparently Bealo has:bigcry:)

RHD might be the emergency petrol cap release thing? Green from memory.

Yep manual petrol cap release or triangle clamp, depends where your looking.

Anything else? ...and why on earth are you putting weight back into the car?
