Fiberglass wheel moulding

How does one remove the fiberglass wheel surround from the coach?

If you look at the inside bottom corners of the panel there will be an angle clip with some screws in it. Remove the screws going into the coach frame, not the panel as they often break. With these 2 bottom corners loose, the whole skirt panel should be able to then hinge up just past 90° and you can carefully slide the panel either fore or aft and support it with a stick to do any work. If you want to completely remove it, I believe there are screws up into the panel hinge. Robert has a good pic of it up like this that he will probably post when he sees this.

After removing the screws at the bottom like Brian said, I just used my washing wand to hold up the fender and then took off the cover to access the inside.
(not sure Brian meant me when he said Robert, but what the hell, my name is Robert and I have pics of holding up the fender ;- )

My 2014's skirts. Once up you can slide them more out of the way if you need to do work in the wheelwell area. Most recently I had skirt up and slid rearward to replace my rear shocks.

I have lifted the panel and slid it back to access the space above the wheel. But now I have to remove it from the coach. If you slide it back farther does it detach? I have a 2019 RB

Look up along the top edge, I believe I have seen screws up along the fiberglass panel that screws it to the aluminum hinge portion that is in the track.

Awesome information guys, didn’t know about this. Might have helped doing a previous procedure, but sure will be handy in the future!
