[dobo]

hi (citoen c8 2006 model )

i have bought a relacement blind for the rear nearside passenger seat, can anyone let me know how to fit it? also is there a haynes manual for a citroen C8

I think you'll find that a Haynes manual hasn't been published for your car. You may find there's some help on the Citroen Service box discs. Look for them on Ebay. Your topic title has been corrected.

If you are ok with French there is also the RTA manual which is similar to the Haynes ones http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rta-669-2-Peugeot-807-Citro%C3%ABn/dp/2726866913

 but it might not be up to date enough for your model year. The service box ones are the best to get though and you install it on your computer rather than having a book.

 

The service box does not seem to have any procedures that cover removing the blinds but maybe the clip covers prise/slide off so the blind can then be removed. Once you remove the blind please come back to tell us how you did it for the benefit of others.

the reason I was looking for a new blind was the two hooks on the blind were snapped, i got a quote from citroen and they said that the blinds come in one piece which cost £205 each!  these hooks only cost about 10p to make.

I removed the hooks by removing the little cover and gently heating the screw head with a hair dryer, then i got a phillips screwdriver on the screw and gave the screwdriver a few taps with a hammer just as if i was using a impact driver, this released the screw (Its not easy)

I then paid £20 on ebay to buy a blind off a scrap car,however I did not fancy stripping the door down to get the blind out, so i removed the hooks off the scrap blind the same way, and just replaced them (dead easy)

can i just say the cost of buying of citroen was stupid, also the other option was to remove the old hooks and just put a curtain hook in to the original screw holes
