Default C4 Rear Hatch

I am busy with the restoration of a 88 C4, and have a couple of questions relating to the rear hatch;

1. How does one open the rear hatch if the electric buttons do not work?
2. How does one remove the rear hatch retractable cover to replace it with a new one?

Thanks in advance

There is a short wire cable in the area at the center of the sunshade, just pull it to open the hatch. The shade is spring loaded. I stick a screwdriver in at the driver side end and pry against it to remove.

Wow that was quick, thanks for the reply.
You certianly did a lovely job of your restoration. My 88 is the exact same colour.

How does one go about listing photos like you did?
Thanks
Nick

On the tool bar click "other" then click member galleries. On that page click upload photos. There is a help forum here that will give lots of help.
