Title: How do you remove the decorative rocker panel trim?
Post by: dogbone on November 17, 2007, 07:36:17 AM
I'd like to get the decorative rocker panel (trim) in front of the rear wheel painted, anyone got any tips to take them off?

I see 3 screws at the bottom to take off, and then 2 rivets? in the side at the door jam, is there 2 way tape maybe holding them?

Do I have to remove the trim at the top of the wheel well also?

take the screws out of the bottom and sides, and then pull the bottom up and slide it off towards the front of the car, its on sort of a track. Installalling them is even trickier, you have to line it up and slide it back on.

Oh yea no problem, i had the same thing done, has those little panels repainted, a word of advice, see if they have some kind of rock chip protector film they could put on it, mine have about 6 thousand miles on them and their already starting to be sand blasted again.
