How to remove this trim?


Alright y'all. I gotta remove my lower rocker moulding panel or gfx piece of trim. I need to acid treat the rust under it but this trim eludes me. I need to remove this piece to get to a nut on the rocker moulding (stupid idea chevy) and I can't seem to find videos on it or visible screws. I pulled the trim on the right side and speaker cover off but do I gotta pull that huge massive piece going the length of the trunk off above it to get to it?

Yea, that piece is annoying. All the trim starting in the trunk nests into each other and that piece is the last one that can come out. I recommend doing it in a warm (70+ degree) area to reduce the chance of cracking/breaking pieces.

Oh man... What a pain. It looks like I need to undo my trunk cover (cloth on on a pully type sytem) and seatbelt stuff in back to remove the big piece of trim. Most my trim is cracked, we will be replacing it with red interior so I am not too worried about that.
