How to remove tailgate moulding?

Hello All,

I need to make some adjustments to the tailgate latch mechanism and I think the tailgate moulding needs to be removed to get access to the latch? There are four small nuts (two on each side) which are related somehow but didn't seem to get me anywhere when I removed them. I've attached a picture so you can see what kind of moulding it is. Any help would be appreciated.




Thanks,
Corin

Sorry guys, I had my brother and father in law look at this the other week while I was working on something in the engine bay and they told me that there were no screws on the back of the tailgate (it's got a panel covering the inside so I couldn't just have a look). I actually just went and had a look at it today and what do you know - four screws holding the thing in, jeez I feel embarrased.



Apologies,
Corin
