How do I get that trim off to treat the rust? There’s 4 screws but something is holding it on under the ford emblem. Take off the interior panel?
Thanks

There are a couple of plastic clips holding it on from the inside. You need to take the interior trim piece off of the tailgate to access them. Take your time; some of the clips holding the trim piece to the tailgate are likely to snap.
