Removing the third tail light and surrounding plastic plate.
Hey everybody, I am going to be painting my white roof black (a buddy will do it for about $180 plus cost of heated painting stall for a day) and I am looking to remove the black plastic trim piece that surrounds the third brake light. Looking in from the top, I can see a nut on either side between the trim and the door. I'm not sure if that's what I need to start with or if there might be snaps holding the piece on as the rest of the truck has them everywhere... Or is it that maybe I need to open the window to access something? I have a Gobi ladder on and dont want to remove it yet if not neccessary. Yes I'll need to when I paint, but until then I use it to access the roof weekly. Any help at all would be great! The blue room had some vague things to say that left me confused...

Ok, so it looks as though I'll need to remove the ladder and open my rear window to access these screws? The diagram seems to indicate so. Thanks for the link, I never saw it!

Thanks Bz... Actually what I saw was a crapload of dirt, leaves, and built up scuz from using my blower to move half the leaves in the neighborhood off my driveway the last two weeks...
