Can someone advise how to remove these Honda Del Sol Body pieces?

I'm preping my Daughter's Del Sol.



If anyone can I need a little coaching on how these three pieces come off.



In this shot there's a screw and a clip. I know the screw has to come out I'm not sure what the clip does although it seems like its holding the side piece on as well. Other than the screw and clip you can't see anything else and its all about just knowing how to remove them.



Here's a few more shots.

Big ole hammer! :D

Just guessing, but does the center piece have studs that protrude the interior behind the trim inside?

If it does and the center piece comes off, then maybe you'll have access to screws at the top of the outer trim pieces that could be hiding behind the center trim.

Just throwin that out there to ya.
LOL, we JUST did one of these where all those parts were removed. A co-worker did it and I'll ask him tomorrow.

That would be great Brian. I would really appreciate it.

Got it! After some careful prying and looking with a flashlight I figured it out.

If you were curious...the top center section just pulls straight back, there are no screws holding it. It does have three press in clips holding it. Once you get it off there is another screw underneath it at the top of each side piece. You can't see these screws until the center piece is off. Take these screws out as well as the ones in the deck lid drip rail (see my original post), then pry the top of the clip in the deck lid drip rail (again, see my first post) out to release the body piece from it, then just pull up and slightly to the rear on the whole piece. There are four more press in clips holding it...that's it.
Figuring it out for yourself was a better lesson anyway right? Sorry I didn't get back to you, but I am glad it all turned out well.
