Can anyone advise how to detach the shiny metal "protection " strip from the back ledge of the wagon. It needs to be replaced due to a "mishap". Apart from a wrecker, where is the best source for a new one?

I think it's the rear bumper protector/scuff plate that Mondoman is referring to (indeed part 17K922B in the posted pdf). (Edit: beaten to it)
I believe it's simply affixed with adhesive, so it should just be a matter of wrestling it off. You could try injecting a glue remover/cleaner like Oomph under the plate to help it pry loose. You can get a new one on ebay, both genuine and third-party options should be available. (I've looked before as mine also has a dent in it, but I haven't been game to go through with trying to remove and replace it.) |

That part has a part number of BS71 17C979 AB genuine Ford.
It is not in the Workshop manual I have, just how to remove the whole bar. I have my car booked into my dealer tomorrow, so will see if they have one and check it out for you.. |

I look forward to your reply. I will try mild heat first, then solvent iy that doesn't work.

They did not have one there, but are getting me some photos of one to see. They said to give them a couple of days..

Hi Don,
I have seen the part you are talking about but having dramas uploading the photo. To confirm the back of it is like one big piece of double sided tape, so a plastic scraper or trim removed should be used to pry it up from the sides enough to get your fingers under, then slowly peel it off... |

There is a German high quality carbon fibre strip that can be stuck onto the external part of the chrome strip. Seems like a good alternative.
I suspect that the current strip is stuck on with double sided tape. Don |
