My first thread and it's a nip-slip

When I bought my 2000 Sport, the "Rear Wiper Arm Washer Bezel" had a broken nipple (pic1). I went to the junkyard this weekend and nabbed a replacement (pic2). To get the thing off I had to remove the interior tailgate panel (pic3). However, because it was a junkyard, I didn't put panel back on.

My questions:

• Will the panel pop back on as easily as it came off and look the way it should?
• Will it require new panel clips to get a good fit?

I'm fairly mechanically inclined, but interiors and body work were never high on my list and I don't want to make the interior of my daily driver look bad.







Any help/insight would be appreciated.

 

As long as your careful in taking it off you shouldn't need to replace the clips, but if one breaks they are cheap at any parts store... if you have the right tool it will save alot of those clips, but a screw driver works too

 

Thanks much!

 

yea just be careful and dont force it back on they have to all line up right to lay down flush

 

Thanks for the heads-up!

 

I realize it was a tiny project, but damn what a PITA for such a small part.



Thanks for your help everyone!
