Hey guys, I need to replace the latch on my rear gate since it no longer works. I have the replacement latch but I can't figure out the best way to disconnect the rods that run up the inside of the door. Can anyone tell me the best way to do this possibly with pictures?
Thanks

The link I posted is actually a search list of threads on the topic. Here is a link to one of those threads that looks pretty detailed to me: http://www.delica.ca/forum/back-door-pr ... 11341.html.

Sorry, I should have looked further, that thread seems to explain everything. I'm still worried about breaking those plastic clips though...

The card comes off ok. I got spare clips off ebay for another project. Cheap enough although old. I didnt break any of mine on that job though I did break the internal handle... its putting it back together and getting the sheet back in place and not getting black goop everywhere thats tough!
