Interior Moulding / Trim

Ram Van and Wagon interior trim panels are comprised of the:
- cowl side trim panels and front wheelhouse trim panels;
- windshield header A-pillar and front door header trim panels;
- side cargo door header and pillar trim panels;
- side upper trim panels;
- rear cargo door header trim panel; and
- side lower trim panels.

The interior trim panels and mouldings are attached to the body panels with screws and/or retainer clips. The scuff plates are attached to the stepwells with screws.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to remove trim panels/mouldings without first removing/loosening (as applicable) overlapping adjacent panels and other interfering components. Also, to avoid damage, ensure that all the screws and retainer clips are removed before attempting to remove a trim panel or moulding. Trim panels are somewhat flexible but can be damaged if handled improperly.
