How to Remove a Mud Splash Guard Flap and Side Cladding for a 2013 or 2014 Toyota Prerunner. Almost all trucks are made the same way. The worst part about this process is the clips that Toyota uses because they are one time clips. You will have to order new clips for the side cladding which will mount to the cladding before going back onto the truck.
Also, when removing the side cladding use a panel popper to reach inside and gently apply pressure to get the clips to release. If the hooks on the cladding itself breaks then you will have to use some type of glue to restore it back together, which is doable, but extra work and not ideal. So, it's better to get it right the first time. With all the dirt that trucks pick up it makes it plastic brittle so sometimes there is nothing that can be done about clips and plastic breaking.
This should be the same for the 2013 and 2014 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner V6.
