im taking off my sail panels (the panels right behind the rear window on the sides just above the trunk) right now on my 95 del sol vtec. ive got the top screw out, and the screw on the bottom inside. im trying to figure out the clips though. tried pulling on the sail panel a bit and pushing on the clip thats on the bottom towards the front, but i still cant get the panel off. anyone done this before?

 

just pull it should pop right off

 

that little white clip doesnt need to be pryed on or anything?

 

oh, and for those who dont know which panel im talking about:

kinda hard to explain the panel im talking about, but a picture is worth a thousand words

 

can you post a pic of what it looks like without one? i may do this to my del

 

if i can figure out how to get the damn thing off, i will! lol, tried pulling on it, and i can tell the 3 clips inside have come loose, but i still cant get it off. the clip on the bottom i still cant figure out. and yes i have got the 2 screw out anyone else have any ideas? ive pulled on this thing pretty hard and it still doesnt come off.

 

theres probably a clip you can't see...honda blessed their clips with some unholy force that keeps a panel into place even after you've taken out every screw u can find...just rip that sucker out, see what clip you destroyed, and go a new pick one up from honda for like $1.50

 

well, ive got the chilton manual here, and the picture only shows 3 clips inside and 1 clip on the side. the 3 on the inside are loose, i dont know about the other one, and all the screw are out.

 

anyone else know?

 

heres what ive got so far:

 

i guess if no one knows ill just go and put it all back together and live with a trunk leak for now. or at least till i can get it all figured out.
