Since there is no access to rear of trim (besides on doors) what careful technique is used to remove trim ??

Also, I haven't removed all the globs of under coating, but are the tubs spot welded to body ??

OK ...... After sandblast, I have found tubs are spotted to body.

Any one know about trim ?

I used a plastic door handle removal tool making sure to get right up close to the clips so I didn't distort the trim. worked great.
