Do not drill through the plastic part) turn the pin and pull it out of the tube use a file to smooth out any unevenness around the holes inside the tube Removing the pin: remove the spring from the pin cut or break the pin without damaging the spring or the rod Repair: hook the spring into the L-shaped recess on the bushing slide the spring into the metal tube NOTE! The metal bushing should be mounted at a 90-degree offset from the original plastic one so that the previously drilled holes do not align with the grooves and holes on the bushing. Therefore, before inserting the entire assembly into the metal tube, mark the location of the grooves. following the marked grooves, using a punch and hammer, bend the metal tube in two places to create indentations that will block the pin from turning inside the tube glue the leatherette material back onto the tube after the glue dries, wind the material onto the tube to the "retracted" position turn the trunk cover 12 times counter-clockwise install and screw on the left-side housing Trunk cover repair instructions for Mazda 6 Estate 2002-2008 You have received a metal bushing from us, and with the help of these instructions, we will explain how to repair your trunk cover. For the repair, you will need: a Phillips screwdriver, a drill with a 2.5 mm or 3 mm drill bit, pliers, a round file, a punch, a hammer, and metal/plastic glue. The trunk cover is covered with a plastic cover on the driver's side, which is mounted with 2 Phillips screws. First, you need to remove the plastic cover. Once removed, there is a leatherette cover on the metal tube. At its edge, there is a plastic pin placed in the tube, which contains a spring hook connected to a rod. To remove the plastic pin, peel off a piece of the leatherette material so that 2 holes are visible, which prevent the pin from moving. Drill out the holes in the metal rod with a 2.5-3 mm drill bit. Do not drill through the plastic element, only through the metal element, so that the plastic tip can be removed. After drilling the holes, gently turn the pin and pull it out of the metal tube. Do not try to pull out the plastic pin without unscrewing it, as you could damage the metal tube and the pin itself, in which case only replacing the entire trunk cover will help. After removing the pin, you can use a file to smooth out any unevenness around the hole inside the tube. The cause of malfunctions is clearly visible: an L-shaped groove, which quickly wears out, deforms, or even gets crushed, causing the trunk cover to stop functioning as it should. Dismantle the pin by removing the spring from it. To dismantle the pin, you need to saw it with a hacksaw or crush it with pliers or a hammer. However, be careful not to damage the metal rod on which it is located. Now it's time to replace our worn plastic element with a metal bushing. Hook the spring into the L-shaped recess on the bushing, then slide it into the metal tube. A clear spring action should be felt. Note: The metal bushing should be mounted at a 90-degree offset from the original plastic one so that the previously drilled holes do not align with the grooves on the bushing. Therefore, before inserting the rod with the bushing into the metal tube, mark the location of the grooves on the metal tube. According to the marked groove locations, which are different from those previously drilled, use a punch and hammer to bend the metal tube to create indentations that will prevent the metal bushing inside the tube from rotating. Afterwards, the leatherette material can be re-glued onto the metal tube. Once the glue dries, wind the material onto the tube to the "retracted" position. Then we can proceed to reassemble the trunk cover. However, before tightening the left-side housing with 2 Phillips screws, turn the trunk cover 12 times counter-clockwise.
