To take off the rear section of body trim remove the rear side panel interior pieces to get access to the clips that secure the body trim. You can remove two of the three clips from the inside which leaves you with one clip that is hidden behind the pillar structure close to the door, you will see how they unclip once you get there. To remove the remaining clip you can sharply tap on the end of the trim piece pushing it towards the front of the car. Basically the same procedure for the doors except there is a nut on the far end. For the fender trim just remove the fenders and pop them off.

Yeah door panels and fenders. I see a risk of doing some damage trying to shortcut this one. It would be nice if they came off as easy as the side skirts.
