rear panel replacement??

Hey guys,

just wondering if people know if the following panel is easily replaced? its the rear upper corner black trim above the rear lights and merges into the rear side window? they feel plasticky or thin metal, the previous owner backed into something and its dented so was wondering if its easy to replace and cheap to get hold of?

heres a pic to see:

It shouldn't be to bad, if I remember it is held in by a few rivets you might have to take quarter window loose from the motor.

It is a $60 something part, and as it says above, a few rivets and clips. The rivets are under the quarter window area, it clips along the edge by the rear glass.

I dont think the part does comes with new rivits you will need to buy new ones. They are hidden so color should not matter. If I remember you could get either natural (silver tone) or black.
