Hiya

Have ordered a new one from TPS - unfortunately all has not gone well on the dismantling front! Followed the guide posted on here and I've accessed the alarm module OK

Is there a way to completely remove the side trim on the boot? Mine seems very reluctant to part company up by the back seat and ideally I'd like it completely off so I can improve access.

Got the old module out, but when I unplugged it the male part of the plug has fallen to pieces around the plastic 3rd pin. I can see that one of the contact pins is corroded, so I'm assuming acid has eaten away at the plastic

I know you can order a replacement plug, but I have no idea how many pieces it comes in and if it's even possible to disassemble it in situ and replace the plastic part?

It's my birthday tomorrow and being upside down in the boot trying to get to the wretched thing is not how I planned to spend the day
