K5 rear chrome quarter trim

[soupman]

How do the rear chrome trip caps (below the tail lights) come out?
Are there screws down inside the body cavity somewhere?

Got all of the other body molding attached with adhesive removed...

Thanks in advance

Been a while but i think you have to remove the tail light assembly to access the the two nuts that retain the molding.

^Yep. Don't break them, either, those trim pieces aren't available anymore, IIRC

I stand corrected, usually you don't see those for sale, and good lord that's pricey for a piece of cheap stamped metal...

If you're careful, you can make the turn with a new roll of adhesive trim. I ditched my aluminum trim pieces about 12 years ago. The adhesive trim actually looks better if done properly. It's the trim in my sig line.
