Trim removal

I have to remove my side trim. No problem with the door panels.
How do I remove the panels on the rear quarters?
Thanks in advance
Ian

Talking Re: Trim removal

you don't they can be repaired but to remove them they have to be cut out and welded back.

Re: Trim removal

What trim are you having problems with? The lower side garnish behind the door or the rear quarter garnish under the rear side window?

The only way to remove them is to physically pull them off. You will likely break most of the clips, and new clips will be needed from the subaru dealer.
