As you can see, I've already flipped the tailgate handle to the inside and smoothed out the tailgate. That's where everything stopped about 2 years ago.

One question I do have... Is it easy to take the trim off the cab that goes under the back window, that big 2-inch piece?!
The corner pieces also have a nut holding them on. If you reach up inside the cab where the rear speakers are (if you have them). if you put your arm up inside the opening, you'll fell the nut inside there. Once those corner pieces are off, the long piece should slide off the clips.

And just for FYI, you can fetch good money on ebay for those pieces if they are in good shape. They are very hard to come by. Actually any of the parts you take off and don't reuse, don't throw them out, people will buy it.
