If you are going to renew it just cut it all the way around just under the moulding then you can see all the fasteners and get at everything else a lot easier.If not you have to go in through the fuel door and if I recollect the number plate.Removing the tail lights help.Theres a load of fasteners to undo and do up again.Have a lot of band aids ready!!!

It's a real pain in the ***. You need to remove both rear inner fender wells, and the gas door assembly, then remove the tail lights. Now take a 10mm and a 7mm wrench and remove all the screw/nuts, going through the lamp holes, gas door, and wheel wells.. Prepare to lose some skin

My wrists looked like a cat tore me up. No easy way to do it.
