    Struggling. How do I remove the lower rear cladding?

    Trying to fix the dent in my lower rear cladding from my little accident, but I can't get the cladding off, and I did not feel like taking off the rear quarter panel claddings to see if I had missed a screw until I checked with you guys. So.... I removed the 5 or 6 upper and 6 lower 10mm bolts from the lower rear cladding, but there still seems to be a connection point on both sides, roughly level with the side marker light. I removed one of the side maker lights to see if I could spot the problem, no luck. I pried up the common seam between the rear quarter panel cladding and the lower rear cladding, and I don't see a connection. What am I missing?

    look around for a how-to guide on tone's bumper tow hitch, it shows you how to remove the cladding, iirc there are 2 torx screws per side under the quarter panels

    and, from what I understand, a lot of double stick tape.
