help removing rear garnish

[mgrande]

I've got all the parts ready to replace the rear garnish on our 4runner but might need some help. I've found a few posts on the process but none of them mention the details on how to remove the inside panel. If anyone has some instructions or pictures it'd be a great help. Even a diagram would help if someone has it. Thanks.

details on how to remove the inside panel.

If you are talking about the plastic, there are a couple of screws and then clips around the edges (on the 2013, there's also a bolt holding the pull strap, which I think prior years do not have). Remove the screws and stick something under the edge to pry up. Once you get the first clip to pop, pull the rest down slowly, but be careful as you go in case you missed a screw. At the top (window part), I don't think there are any clips, but a lip.

Thanks for the help. I figured it out, much easier than I expected.

Can you let me know what you did on this? I need to remove the rear garnish and am having difficulty with it. Did you remove the interior cargo door panel to get to it?
