those tail gates suck. just keep in mind that entire car is meant to have all panels replaced except for the "backbone" down the sides so that you can change the color of them easily (hence the hood coming off with that lame strap holding it on).

i dont know how to remove the tail gate, i just wrap them on the vehicle and use heat to get it to work.

i hate those stupid cars. worthless death trap plastic bottles.

I have one of those little POS cars. They are the perfect car to hang signs on as they grab attention everywhere they go. That aside the body panels are as you know, plastic... very soft and scratch very easily.

I had static cling graphics on mine for just under a year and the sides that got the most daily sun developed small dark spots under the cling. The dark spots mostly cleaned/polished off but several were deep into the plastic. My yellow plastic panels are solid yellow, no paint. Some of the spots were under the printed image and some under the clear.

I'm not going to be much help getting the panel off, I didn't take mine off as my graphics were small not a wrap also my car is the Cabriolet so the tail gate is different anyway. Mine does have a screw on each side and 4 across the top inside the inner rear panel that look like they could hold the outer color panel on. This car has storage inside the inner panel for the Cab rails... like I said it is different. Good luck.

ProWraps, not only do all the panels come off but they can all be replaced in a ridiculously short amount of time (1 hour if I remember correctly) and the 1st set of replacement panels is dirty cheap (like $1200). The car also has an awesome safety rating (4 out of 5?). Sorry figures aren't exact but they're close enough.

Took the fam on a cruise to Mexico for a little much needed and much deserved R&R. Since I got back it's been game on. We're slammed! Cranking them out... no time for fun and games on S101.

What's up with you?
