Hi,. I'd like to remove this piece of plastic trim from my 2018 CX-5, i need to fix a hatch mount for a ham radio antenna. Can it be popped out? I tried looking it up on the online service manual but couldn't find any reference to it.

Thanks!



Removing

 

Can you take a photo from the outside?

 

 

Is that panel plastic or steel?

 

I've looked in the workshop manual, and it appears to be held on with double sided tape and a couple of clips.

 

Hi all, yes its plastic. That looks like the whole trim, I just need to remove the black plastic.

This is what I want to do, photo 8.

That last photo is of the previous generation CX-5. Totally different to your white or blue model shown previously.

That plastic panel is all 1 piece.

 

Ok, I see now, thanks for your help.

 

What did you end up doing to install the antenna?
