Loadbay trim removal

Post by neillr »

Can anyone help me with advice on how to remove the internal trim to the rear loadbay sill (effectively the part under the rear doors)? I have removed the load lashing points which are the only things I can see physically holding it down. I have managed to prise up the ends but it still seems very solid in the centre. 2010 Caddy Maxi.

There are 4 screws which as behind cover caps. You need to look close to see them as they have the same finish as the rest of the threshold cover.

Thanks. I saw round areas that looked like they might be covers but couldn't (easily) prise them up. Now that I know that's them, I guess I'll just have to be a bit more brutal..!

Did you have any luck removing the covers? I didn’t want to mess them up on my Caddy until I found the correct way to remove them.

They pop up quite easy with a small-ish flat head screwdriver
