Remove hatch waist line trim?
I've searched and searched. The best I could find was to pull it away and pull down. That didn't work. Already broke off the end tabs and had to glue them back on. I need to put a new one on without breaking the hatch glass or scratching the paint. Help!



Where the arrows point

Remove the end clips with a pic tool and then SLIDE the chrome strip to the right with the hatch open.

Here is a view of the underside of the trim. Hope this helps.

So the tip of the arrow goes around the rear glass?

The entire piece has to slide on?
