This is on my '02 4dr; anyone know how to remove the rear grills(or whatever they are called) and trim around the rear side glass? I have rust under the paint at the top rear corner of each side glass which I would like to attend to. I found the three plastic rivets on the inside where the rear glass gas struts reside....I removed them but there are some type of clips that hold the "grills" on which I could not figure-out how to get them to release.

As far as the rear side glass trim....is it glued on?....I could not find any clips and did not want to push my luck and break the trim by lifting it up much.

Appreciate any insight or assitance.

Thanks

 

as far as the 2 side pieces, they do come off..have taken them off before..use care and you'll 'pop' them off..your 3 clips and then possibly an upholstery tool or the like-to pry off... Around the windows..now never attempted that although I doubt it comes off..good luck! Jerry
