The procedure is largely the same for both sides with a few subtle differences: The panels are held in place by a number of screws, clips and adjacent panels. If both panels are to be removed then the rear tailgate lock panel should be removed, if only one side is to be removed then the panel can be lifted slightly on that side if preferred.

The chrome and plastic panels are both fixed the same way by plastic plugs. The plugs are the same fixings that hold the main door cards in place but instead of 'locking' into position, they are used in a compression state instead.

A cardboard washer is fitted here as a noise suppressor so recover it and some vehicles also have a collar piece that needs to be recovered. The panels can now be pulled off, note the four 'Christmas tree' fixing clips that hold it on will normally stay with the car and not the panel so these will need to be recovered for refitting later.
