Removing flat trim on bed?
I'm working on removing the flat stainless trim to peck out the dents in deformations from over the years in a tight garage. The cab and forward have nuts that I can access (although not easily) but there is no way to get to the back of the trim on the bed because of the inner sheet metal. How would I go about removing this stuff without stretching or damaging it?
Body man, I am not, however I can handle the dents in this SS. Thank you all in advance. |

Re: Removing flat trim on bed?
I believe the trim uses clips on the bed sides.
It's a slight challenge, but you can get your hand between the inner and outer sheet metal. Definitely much easier with the bedside off to reach up in between.

You're exactly right. I just didn't look good enough.
Now I'll get out the band aids and go to work. Thank you. |

Re: Removing flat trim on bed?
Happy to help! If you're doing it by yourself, maybe hang the trim with a couple pieces of tape so it doesn't fall off after all the clips are popped out.
