Get a trim removal tool to get in and pry the clips off

I took mine off last weekend to fix my rear washer jet that had been leaking
into the rear arch!!
The boot trim is a complete W.....er to get off and does need some force.,some of the metal clips
Were still in the body of the car and had to pull them out with pliers.
Just make sure you have all the metal clips attached to the trim so it clips back in properly...
Have fun.

Does the main boot panel need to come off to get the pillar trims removed??
