Title: Side trim
Post by: oldtimer on June 12, 2008, 06:34:20 AM

Having a hard time removing the body trim.  My car was painted last month with the new paint the body trim looks gray in color.  I want to repaint them with the trim paint but I have not remove them before.  I need help in removing them so I don't do anything stupid and brake them.  I see a 10mm nut for the door and the small piece on the front fender.  after removing the nut.  will the trim pop out or slide out.  the rear piece.  How do I remove that piece?  thank you in advance.

Did you manage to get the trim off?  I am thinking of replacing mine, and I am not sure what all fasteners I will need to replace if I do.  Was there anything that breaks when you pull the trim off?  Thanks!
