Help needed to remove rocker molding.

[Mike65]

I tried to do a search first & did not find an answer to my question, so as the title says I need help removing the rocker panel moldings on both sides to repair the rusted rocker panels on our 99 Sport.

2 screws in the wheel wells at each end, the rest is just plastic christmas tree clips holding it on. Remove the 4 screws, and the push out the clips or pull the trim.

You can borrow my kids for the weekend, they'll kick out any rocker mouldings you care to point them at.

Can I borrow them to swap in a new Transmission for me?

Only if you want it destroyed.

All I can find is 1 screw in the front wheel opening.

I'm posting to see how this goes. Should probably get around to fixing mine before it takes on a harsh Vermont winter.

OK I found the one on the front of the rear wheel flare, so there is one in each wheel opening. I got the rocker panel molding off & here is what I found left of the drivers side rocker panel.
