    Someone please help!! Trim question

    I know that there are a lot of threads talking about how to remove trim but for some strange reason I just can not find how to remove the trim off of a rear plastic bumper. I know there are screws that hold it in I think? But i don't know how to get to them. Someone please help or point out a thread i can read! thanks!

    There are two screws at each end cap holding the trim on. Other than that, there are several tabs running along the top and bottom of the trim along the bumper. If you have the bumper removed it should be pretty clear looking at it. If not, lookie here:

        Im assuming that you took the bumpers off the car. IIRC, there are torx screws,1 on each end of the bumpers from the inside. I used a flat head screwdriver to pry the tabs off the bumper and pushed the tabs away from the bumper.

        edit: You got a quick draw there patrick. :)

            The trim pops off cuz its held on with little tabs. If the bumper is still on the car, it's a little tough to not break the tabs, but if the bumper is off the car just use a screw driver to wedge out the trim.

              So im guessing its easier to just take off the whole bumper and go at it from the inside right?
