NOTE:

• Put on gloves to protect your hands.
• When prying with a flat-tip screwdriver, wrap it with protective tape to prevent damage.
• Take care not to bend or scratch the trim and panels.

To remove the rear side trim panel, remove these items:

• Rear seat cushion and rear seat-back (see page 20-40)
• Trunk floor mat and spare tyre lid (see page 20-31)
• Trunk side spacers, for some models (see page 20-31)
• Rear trim panel (see page 20-31)

Remove the trim as shown. On the right side, disconnect the trunk compartment light connector.

Install the trim in the reverse order of removal and note these items:

• Replace any damaged clips.
• Make sure the trunk compartment light connector is plugged in properly.
• If the threads on the rear side trim panel mounting self-tapping ET screws are worn out, use an oversized self-tapping ET screw made specifically for this application.
• When installing the rear side shelf, slip the rear seat belt through the slit in the trim.
• Before installing the anchor bolts, make sure there are no twists or kinks in the belt.
