Hey gang… Im doing a super duty with the plastic bed rail caps on top. I need to remove them before painting. I looked under it and there is a ship load of tabs. I heard that they are pretty hard to get them all lose and pushed out with out breaking them.
Any tips?
lay on your back (in the box) and squeeze them one by one with pliers and push them up and out … a couple of the last ones you can’t get at so wiggle and lift with your fingers crossed for the last couple B)
Do like Stone said. Once you get started, use a trim panel tool or something similar on the top side to put a little pressure exactly where the tabs are and that can help when squeezing the bottom.
I find these are usually fairly easy to get off with out snapping them. Good luck
may need to unsqueeze them after with a flathead for installation 😉
Rip them off and make the insurance company buy new 😉 :pcorn:

Thanks guys, I have the bed off the truck standing up right on the front on the ground. I can see the little plugs you guys are talking about. I will get it try and let you know.
I would love to rip them off and get new ones but these are nice and I want to reuse them.
The other bed I have to do they are damaged and I will rip them on and buy new ones.
Anyone help me out with a new set 1for the sides and rear tail gate piece? They are pretty pricey from ford.
