taking side trim off

Prospeeder · February 16, 2005, 07:24:36 PM

Well, i need to take the side trim off and see if i can pop the dent out of it, but how do i take it off, and how do i put it back on, just screws i hope, its the trim right before the driver side door

Pretty easy although you have to take the front fender flair off or almost off.(lift up a couple inches at the rear) Fender flair, screws underneath in wheel well that point up. Pull out on the bottom and up. The top is held on with s clips and its just hung on them. Front fender areo extension (the part your refering to) about three screws in the wheel well that point to the rear and one in the side under neath the fender flair that you took off.

Try and blow out the crack between the flair and the fender cause it collects dirt.

IIRC, it's just screws on the bottom, and pull upwards to get it off the clips on the body.

any tips on putting the crap back on??? i took the fender flare off, and both the rear fender flares wernt put on right, parts of them wernt on the clips, so i took them off, holy shit!!! i can see why, there so hard to put back on, and when i managed it back on, the same parts still wernt clipped right, uhhg, what a pain, any sugestions, and when i take the trim peice off, im afraid i wont be able to get that back on either, what a nightmare

I've taken them off, but never put them back on. :lol: I would try lining the piece up a bit higher, then slide it down and try to catch it on the clips.

Mine went back on no problem. I'm take them off then put them back on, I'll see what made it easy.

oh thank you, lol, im afraid i bent the metal clips in my panic to get it back on, cause spots arnt on all the way, so ill pull em back off, and then when u tell me how easy u did it, ill put them back on, have u taken off any other trim, like the one right after the rear flare, mine has a dent as u can see from the pic
