NOTE:

  • Take care not to scratch the body.

  • Use the appropriate tool from the KTC trim tool set to avoid damage when removing components.

  1. Pry up at the notches (A) with a flat-tip screwdriver wrapped with protective tape to release the hooks (B), then remove the lids (C) from both sides.

  2. Remove the bolts.

  3. Lift up on the tailgate spoiler (A) to detach the pins (B) of the clips from the grommets (C), then remove the spoiler.

  4. Remove the grommets from the tailgate with snap ring pliers.

  5. If the grommets or the pins are damaged or stress-whitened, replace them. Always replace both the pin and the grommet if either is damaged.

  6. Install the grommets on the pins by pushing them into place.

  7. Install the spoiler in the reverse order of removal, and push the clips into place securely.
