Planning to Wrap pillars near the glass lift gate. Cant find instructions for removal

[kjkim93]

Hey Guys I was looking through the search on my phone and couldnt find the right article. But Ive been wondering if anybody has something that explains how to remove the pillars at the back of the car. Where the glass lift gate is. One side is loose while the other side wont budge. And if i can get both of them off so i can wrap it i would be happy.

are you talking about the panels I wrapped in carbon fiber?
I was a bit nervous about it myself, couldn't find anything about it...so I baby'd the first one off
my model, 05 LT, (I assume they're all the same, but can't guarantee it) has 2 clips, one near the top, and one near the bottom, that use a hex bolt to secure it in place...they're behind the lil rubber stoppers for the glass
and 3 "clips" for lack of a better word that wrap around to the other side of the rear hatch
take the 2 hex bolts out, and it should slide to the outside of the truck and right off
if you don't have the hex bits, or hex drivers, carefully pop the lil locking pins out of the square holes (which is what I done for the first side, before I realized a simple hex driver would take it off )
be gentle with it though...

Hmm, I've been wanting to color match mine for a while. May need to look into this a bit further.
