DC5 Hatch Trim removal..help!

Hi Folks:

Just wondering do we really need to remove whole rear trims to reach the rear top strut (as what shows in RSX service manual)? or any trick can save a bit of the steps?

Thanks

they are fun to get out

First you will need to fold down the seats, take the rear speakers out, the screws hold part of it in.
Then there are clips all along the top of the panel that runs next to the passenger side and run all the way to the drivers side seat belt and all the way into the boot... once you have these, there are other clips in the middle which require you to pull on the trim from the top down. Gentle and easy does it. The first time is always the hardest.

Thanks Matty, but is that mean I don't have to completly remove that plastic trim, just half detach will be enough to remove the hatch trim which cover the rear top strut?
