Last time I removed the trunk plastic trim, I was really afraid of breaking it, but later I learned a simple method. First, find a quiet place, turn off the car, and prepare some basic tools like a screwdriver and plastic pry bar—avoid metal ones to prevent scratching the paint. The plastic trim is usually secured with clips or screws, so carefully inspect all edges and corners to locate those small screws—don’t miss any. After gently unscrewing them with the screwdriver, insert the pry bar into the seam and slowly pry it open. Don’t use too much force, or the clips might snap. If you see any connected wires, like the taillight wiring, remember to unplug them first. The whole process tests your patience, but taking it step by step ensures success. Once done, take the opportunity to wipe down the plastic trim to prevent dust buildup.
