Cargo Bay Side Panel Removal (B9 Van)

[axxeman]

Hello again forumites.  Having cleaned the rear of my 62 plate B9, I wanted to be able to remove the black trim side panels that sit over the rear wheel arches but am somewhat reluctant to just "grab and jerk".  I did buy a trim removal kit with all its little plastic bits and bobs but still don't know where to begin and the only YT video seems to be a different model so not exactly relevant.

So, I need someone that knows how to do this without creating unnecessary damage please?

Thanks.

If I can remember correctly the panels are fairly indestructible and will pull off ( reluctantly) but you may have to replace one or two of the little white plastic captive clips which are "disposable"
I'm sure I still have the panels lurking at the back of a shed somewhere s If there's time today I might make an expedition to see If they exist.

Any help would be much appreciated.
