V70 - Tailgate adjustment - 2007 model
 
And now for my next job.......
I want to adjust the tailgate striker plate as I think it shuts just a little too easily but its covered by a plastic sill protector

There are two small bolts and then I suspect it is pushed in on clips but is it pushed down from top or in ward from inside spare tyre well?

Anyone know how this comes off?

Sorted!
1 - Undo the two bolts on the back of panel - 8mm I think
2 - Pull off the door seal strip from the surrounding area where it covers the plastic trim
3 - Pull firmly upwards - I started on the left of centre and then did right of centre

Panel is held with a mix of plastic fasteners - I didn't break any this time and if you pull up vertically you should be OK
NB - watch the very end of the panel don't get caught in the luggage fastening rails
