Default Trim piece removal

Is it possible to remove this trim piece without removing the back seat?? If so, how does it come out? Need to run some wiring. Thanks!!

If you pull the door seal away, you should be able to use a trim tool and pry it away enough to get wires behind it without actually removing it.

There is a circle thing above the seatbelt. What is that?

I have a different cab so I’m not sure. Without looking ( it’s dumping rain right now), I’m not sure if mine has that. It could be a removable plug with a bolt behind it though. Does it look like it’s a separate piece? Can’t tell from the picture.

Yes, there should be a bolt under that cap. If you use something plastic to pry it out then you probably won't leave any marks. Using a screwdriver will probably scratch it and the panel up.

Well, since this stumped some folks, here is the answer: Seems the rear seat must come out 🤬🤬. Behind that circular trim piece is a bolt that holds the trim in place. You will need a 9/32 socket to remove it. You will also need a T-45 or T-50 (either seemed to work) torx bit to remove the seatbelt at the bottom. Hope this helps some folks.

After countless attempts, I still can not remove the damn rear seat so I had to pry the trim just enough for what I need it for.

Glad to see you got it. Why does the rear seat need to be removed?

So you can remove the trim piece. Right now, I cant remove it (the trim piece), only pull it away far enough to run my wiring.
