CX-5 2017 Tailgate upper plastic moulding

(1/2) > >>

MazdaFirstTimer:
Looking for some advice.

My CX-5 was recently rear ended and needed a new tailgate, rear impact bar and bumper moulding.  Had some problems with the paint matching, reversing camera not working and the tailgate central locking button malfunctioning (now all resolved after a second attempt) but the upper tailgate moulding that fits directly beneath the rear window appears to rattle like it's loose.

Is it attached via clips and is it possible they've just come unclipped and worked lose it could it be something else ?

Can take it back to the repairers but don't have much faith in them now to be honest.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve taken the trim above the rear window off a couple of times to fit a rear camera, that trim is secured with a combination of metal and plastic clips. I’d assume the lower one is similar. Might be worth having someone sit in the boot whilst you drive round the block pressing on each one in turn. My guess would  be that it’s something inside rather than the trim itself?

MazdaFirstTimer:
Thanks for the suggestion. It's going in for its first service in a couple of weeks. I'll get the dealer to check it out and advise.

Anchorman:
Some of those panels are glued and clipped. I’m assuming you mean the outside of the car, not the inside.

MazdaFirstTimer:
Yes. The higher outside panel above the number plate that also incorporates the Mazda badge by the look of it. The panel immediately under the rear window.
