 Need help removing two items



Yes, I've searched. And either there isn't anything out there, or I suck at keywords.

1) The plastic trim strip at the rear of the coupe that you can see with the hatch open. It's held on with 6 screws under square plastic trim caps, one screw at each end that's behind other trim pieces and who knows what else. Once those 8 screws are out, what else holds it down? Is it just a "pull up as hard as you can" type thing with those white plastic rivets?

2) The platic surrounds on the driver's and passenger's side locks.

Thanks.

John

Six (6) screws and four (4) nuts on the rear hatch trim (at least on the one example I have taken out myself).

No advice on the side locks.

The handle surrounds on the inside just slide forward or backwards, I forget to be honest.

The ones on the ouside require a special tool. Check out Ron's website for more details.

and I can't find any information on removing the outside surrounds. I see the spanner-type tool for removing the lock cylinder. I see lots of pictures of the inside of the door cavity and the lock assembly. But nothing on removing the black plastic surround plates from the outside.

Here's an article on MZ3.net on how to replace the stock door surrounds with chrome pieces:

John, did you ever have a chance to get the number off that one plastic piece in the rear hatch area I am trying to get?
