Isata 280 trim - cover

[GraemeD62]

If this piece breaks during removal, I’ll need a replacement. It looks fragile...
Anyone know if they are available?
Year 2013 production date, its the hinge trim cover for the upward opening door hinge, left aft storage compartment. (The white stuff is tape residue )

I'll have Greg take a look, see if we have any of it sitting around.

Thanks,
any suggestions on the removal procedure?

• I was thinking of trying to slide it out.
• work a small "L" bent sheet metal to release the lower hook.

That sounds like a good plan to me

Done,
Just a few points of information for anyone that cares,
The trim pice is Aluminum
It did slide out aft, because the track was loose and sticking out.
The track/hinge is aluminum
About a dozen screws hold the track to the body.
10 of the screws had failed due to rust.
There is a gap behind the body panel that allows the screws to rust.
Replaced all screws with stainless steel.

I am sure the other side is not far behind.
