heat it up with a heat gun, so the glue melts.

wouldnt it have a clip?
im not sure about EKs but EGs do..
and you have to remove the rear trim to access it

or just break the clips lol

Alright. Done this a million times. Get a paint scraper ready. Take off the interior compartment there and use your hands to press out the clips. Then use the scraper from the outside and press the clip from the top and then do the same on the bottom of the clip. Each time u do this you should hear a click. If u didn't then u didn't get the clip. Just keep doing that to all the clips there. That's for eg btw. I'm pretty sure that ek are the same

Yes should be the same as the EG. So this is in fact the easiest trim to remove.

Remove the interior trim completely.

There are three clips that you have to press in - do this one at a time.

I do not recommend using anything sharp on the outside as you will inevitably scratch your paint. Just get someone to help you and pry the trim gently away from the body as you pop the clips.

Try not to break the clips as Honda charges a fortune for the small plastic things.

im assuming its the same as the door trim, but what about the Front quater panel? im wanting to replace mine soon for thinner ones, as i have the fat ones that stick out

its the same..but you'd need to open up the fender
or maybe you can access it by removing the splash guards..

theres a red clip inside with two tabs, simply press down both of the tabs and it will come out.

But this only applies if you are doing this from the inside of the car.
