Rear trim removal quick question
Seems like it would be easy but I’m trying to remove the trim around both rear windows. I’m starting with the corner bit that looks like it’s held in place with some capped small rivets. See pic.

How do I remove trim? Must drill these out?

The trim around the small rear windows, just pulls off, it has spring clips that grip the body seams, just give it a good pull.

The large side window trims, have two large plastic trim clips that pull out at the bottom, they may be obscured by the 3rd row seats. Once they're off the trim lifts off the cant rail (internal gutter) at the top, it just hooks on. Depending on configuration, you may need to unbolt seat belts to feed them through holes in the trim.

The handles are with 4 screws, just clip the covers off from the handle side and they flip open (if the plastic is not broken)

Those trims also have a third fir tree fixing on the front leading edge, within the reveal of each rear side door.

To remove them completely, it's also necessary to unbolt the lower fixing of the second row seat belts, as they're threaded through the panel. The nut is captive though, so it's very easy to remove the bolt from above. Darren

I think the later (TD5/Puma) rear side windows are bonded.

One of these might help.
