Interior panel removal

[jh604]

I was wondering how to take out the grey/silver interior panels? (ie. the front grey panels along the window (a pillar), rear grey panels along the rear windows (c pillar) and the silver thingymabobs on the door handle.

Thanks in advance to all you who helped me!

For the grey panels i think you just need to pull them, just be careful not to break any tab/clips. The silver part on the handle is easy, you just need a flat screw driver that can fit on the corners of the silver part.

the a pillars pull off. start at the top near the headliner. the back ones you need to unscrew o think 2 screws from the deck lid track(may be under little covers. and the silver on the door i use a 90 degree pick and start at the bottom to pop it out. i would take pics but the civic is under the knife at a shop.

If you're talking about the silver inserts in the handles that run vertically, there was an easier way. If you feel on the backside of the handle there's a small hole. I use a jeweler's screwdriver to stick in there and pop the silver insert out (sole purpose of that hole).

Ok so that was a pain in the butt to get off I will run thru the basics it does suck to get the rears off.

1 Take out back seats bottoms pop up and the backs ya have to take a screw out between the seats then the left back will pop out.



2 Then take the top 2 screws out of that piece that you just took the one between the seats



3 Take center off below hatch


4 there is 2 screws here to take out on each side.


then that piece will come out

5 2 more screws on each side underneath



6 Take out the panels shown and you have to use a screwdriver to pop the clips up.



7 start in the rear and the panel should pop off
