the fiddly part is changing the locks, and of course if you have to change the glass thats a hassle

yeah i have done this on a nova and its exactly the same, remove the clip that holds the pin in to the tailgate then knock the pins out with a hammer and nail punch, remember to disconect the two lifters on each side, you will be surprised how much it weighs:lol:

I'll start be sayin Hi :wave:. As you can probably guess from the Username i dont drive a Corsa :!, my Girlfriend does;)

She has a 1994 SRI in black.

I need to replace the tailgate with another as she managed to put a dent in hers, has anyone done a swap before? I can see where the hinges are and there are 2 pins that look kinda like rivots of some sort.

Help!!!!
