If you’re talking about the big side panels in the rear they’re just held on with clips except the 1 screw on each side that go through that round black piece. First pull any pieces that overlap those parts, they all just come off by pulling. There’s clips that snap in place. Just start prying on them and the parts will come off, just be careful and don’t overdo it. There’s no real secrets that I can think of.

You don't need to remove any trim to put the tint on. If you're not familiar with installing tint, check out some online videos...they help a lot! One to really look for is the doors...the trick is to roll the windows down a bit to expose the top of the glass. Remove tint backing from the top but leave it attached at the bottom few inches. This prevents the glued portion of the tint from touching the door panel and picking up dirt. Get the tint done at the top, roll window up and continue with rest of window. One of the keys is to keep the window and the back of the tint wet wet wet. Water and dish soap in a spray bottle. Good luck!
