iOS 8 UITableView separator inset 0 not working

Question

I have an app where the UITableView\'s separator inset is set to custom values - Right 0, Left 0. This works perfectly in iOS 7.

Swift 2.0 Extension

I just wanted to share an extension I made to remove the margins from the tableview cell separators.

extension UITableViewCell {
    func removeMargins() {

        if self.respondsToSelector("setSeparatorInset:") {
            self.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero
        }

        if self.respondsToSelector("setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:") {
            self.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false
        }

        if self.respondsToSelector("setLayoutMargins:") {
            self.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero
        }
    }
}

Used in context:

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CustomCell

    cell.removeMargins()
    return cell
