Removing rear trim

Does anyone know how to remove the trim on the drivers side, under the rear window?
I get a constant rattle from under the rear window, but only when the roof is down.

Arjay .. take a look at my topic in the Ice section .. called I got my ice .. there a link which shows the car in bits which might help. all i can say though is i wouldn't want to do it again ... surely the warranty would take care of it ?

Thanks Paul_y3k. Was there much under the side pannel to cause a rattle and do you have to remove the rear seats first?

yep the rear seats have to come out .. but the only thing i can think off would be a lose speaker or window mount as there's not much else there.

hiya arjay

had exactly the same problem although mine rattled constantly. very difficult to detect - thought it may have been the new rear speakers i'd installed. had the rear seat, side panels etc out several times and just when I thought i'd fixed it the rattle returned. gave up and got the dealer to have a go. took them a while but they managed to identify the problem as a loose rear window frame. now fixed, no more squeaks (at least from that part of the car)... suggest getting the dealer to try first to save the frustration ...

cheers
