rear interior side panel removal

[JC]

Does anyone have any tips or how to on removing the rear interior side panels? I'm going to install a glass mount antenna on the drivers side rear window and will need to remove the panel to route the cable.

Any tips are appreciated.

Panel

If memory serves, you will need to remove the pieces above and below the rear swing gate opening to remove either rear trim panel. That might be enough to get at what you need, but you might also have to remove the seatbelt bolt, and the plastic piece at the bottom of the rear door, if you need to remove the whole panel. Everything just snaps in with metal snaps, so don't worry about breaking anything.

Have a look at this pdf for installing trailer wiring. It shows panel removal
part way down as well as seat belt torque specs.

Well, it was easy as the picture made it look. I installed a thru-glass CB/weather antenna and a Midland remote mount weather CB. The CB reception is ok, but the weather band reception is really good now.

Thanks again for the help!
