hi guys welcome back to another video on today's video i'm going to show you how to remove the rear
trim at the back of your caddy maxi so guys this is the trim that i'm going to be removing because
a lot of people have difficulties removing this the main reason you want to remove it is maybe
for cleaning you might want to do some repairs to the back of these latches here the doors shut onto
the main reason i like to do is so you can go underneath this trim so it tidies up all your
thermo wrapping and the sound ending so whenever you're doing the flooring all the carpeting on the
edge here you can get it nice and underneath and then you can put the plastic trim back on
top and leaves you with a nice clean finish so before we jump to step one what you're going to
need to remove this is a flathead screwdriver or something really small just so you can pop out
the plastic caps you're going to need a t20 star allen key or hex keys people like to call it and
also a t25 so you need a t25 and a t20 and a flathead screwdriver so step one's really
easy guys what you want to do is make sure all the area is clear so you've got nothing sitting
on top of the trim and then what you want to do is just peel off this rear seal because that's
on the back of the trim here so simply just start in the corner grab it and pull it off
there you go now you've got the edge of the trim exposed right so on to step two most people have
these which are lashing points in their vans you've got these all over the van you have one
on each side so you've got one here and one on the other side and this is where you're going to need
a t25 head and pop that into those screws some might have replacement screws would be allen keys
but they're mainly going to be t25 so pop those in and simply unscrew i've loosened them off just
for today so it makes it easier for the video so i don't need to use a screwdriver so simply
loosen those off and then when you get you know a bit more leaching to do by hand pull those out
that last point as you can see that's around the edge of the trim there there's some washed
in there that'll be holding bits of the trim down so there's one on the right side and there's one
on the left side take both those off so you get rid of the lashing points so on to step three
this is where people make the biggest mistake now you've taken out the lashing points you then
simply think oh let's just pull it off because you get a bit of movement as you can see you think oh
but it's solid it's not coming off some people try and undo these the trick is there's four
little plastic caps there's one here one there and two more here underneath these plastic caps
there's further screws you take those out and then you can fully pull it off this is where you're
gonna need your flat head screwdriver so you can pop down on the top of those caps because they're
really sealed which i'll show you in a minute and then you can get your t20 and you can unscrew them
with this close wrap angle you can now see the four caps so now you need a flathead screwdriver
to pop them off so this one i've done earlier as you can see pops off nice and easy and this
is the screw down there it's the second one which i have just popped off so it shouldn't be as hard
as you go that's another one popping off and then the third one so it's quite difficult
you just have to kind of bend it out as seen here like that and then the fourth form
so like i said before this is the stage everybody misses and they end up pulling their trim too
early and that's when you damage or crack your plastic trim so the next step is to now unscrew
all the bolts and then you can take the trim off step four is just unscrew all the bolts that are
inside here so as you can see you just have to get it in place and then just unscrew it so what
i'll do is i'll just skip through this because you don't need to watch me unscrewing them all
so if you've now unscrewed all four of these bolts fully it should now just pop off let's say i've
unscrewed them all you obviously need a little bit of pressure just pop it over these end bits here
there you go and now you can see it's fully popped off it's underneath it as well you can see where
these screws are they go into these holes here so you can see how dirty it is so it's really good to
get this off give it a good clean up you might find a bit of rust here on my other van i did
find loads of rust down here so give it a good old clean you can then put your thermo wrap underneath
