To remove the tailgate panel on a Peugeot 208, start by fully opening the tailgate. Then locate the fastening screws, usually hidden behind handles or small plastic caps: remove the caps with a flat screwdriver and unscrew the screws.

Once removed, the panel is only held by snap clips. Insert a plastic lever between the panel and the metal and gently pry along the perimeter, starting from a corner, until the clips disengage one by one. When the panel is free, pull it towards you and disconnect any electrical connectors present, such as those for the light or the lock.

For reassembly, reconnect the connectors, realign the clips, press the panel into place, and reinsert the screws.
