Title: Tailgate window surround trim - remove without taking lower tailgate trim off?
Post by: toms85 on October 04, 2014, 06:23:50 pm

Is it possible to part remove the plastic trim surrounding the rear window, I really don't want to have to take the whole boot trim off if possible. I just neeed access to swap one of the aerial amplifiers

I don't believe you can buddy, lower trim is simple to remove tho.

Thanks. Yep managed it this morning taking the lower panel off first. It came off a lot easier than I was expecting compared to what I'd read (which put me off!)

I've yet to put it back on though - might not be so easy!
