The trim is held on by plastic clips which can be squized from the inside of the car to take them off. So you will have to take off the door panels, open up the speaker panel in the rear interior and get underneath the fenders to do them all.

Hope this helps. :thumb:

Yes, yes good call Katie. That will make it MUCH easier. Oh and there shouldn't be any glue or double sided tape...unless some tard put them on.
