Lower Rear Window Hinge / Gutter

Return to the Periodic Maintenance menu

 

You will be surprised how rusty the boot hinge and lower window grey hinge can become when not kept oiled / greased.

To remove the boot lid, open it so that it points at your chin, pull towards you and slide left or right.

Lubricate heavily the 'silver' double hinge and put a small film of oil / grease on the grey metal.

Some of you will have or will find one of the hinges rusting and falling off. There is no remedy, just a new boot lid or new grey piece (Citroen Part Number AZ84424a)

Similarly continue with your spray and liberally coat the area as seen in the photograph.

However in the quick short turn a small squirt of liquid grease. I am using Wurth HHS2000 and the small straw which is supplied to lubricate this area.

This should be carried out every six months especially entering the autumn / winter
