I have finally obtained a driver side Convertible Boot Trim in one piece.
I am trying to remove the old broken piece and have gotten as far as
removing the screws.
How do I proceed from here?
It9s on pretty tight and I don9t want to damage anything.
Also, I9d appreciate any advice on installing the new piece without breaking
it.
Thanks in advance.
