Travato 59K Slider Window Trim Removal

[Mikemdd]

Greetings,
2024 Travato 59K. I have a rattle under the trim on the slider window. Before I start yanking and prying (and damaging....), does anyone know how to remove the plastic trim around the slider window so that I can fix the rattle underneath? I can't see how it is attached. Thanks!

Alternate thought?
What does this sound like? Something like a loose screw or small part?
I've found it is sometimes just as well to drill a small hole near the rattle and shoot some expanding foam in to seal whatever is loose!
A bit of caulk and paint to match to hide the hole?

Go easy on the foam to avoid it expanding too much and coming out on stuff you see.
I went with just a shot first, let it finish expanding and then did a second round as the first did not get it done!
Maybe mask off the area before starting?

Great question. It seems like the trim is actually causing the rattle. If I shove a shim in between the trim and door, it mutes the rattle. Not sure I'm brave enough to put expanding foam in, but maybe find another way to "tighten up" the trim fit to the door. I was thinking taking off the trim could provide an option for a fix, but if it is not easy to remove, maybe finding a way to isolate the trim better will work. Not a big deal but annoying.

As clarification, the "trim" I'm talking about surrounds the window blind cassette. Maybe shade cassette and trim all come off at the same time?

Okay, sorry as I had a different form of sliding window in mind! Sounds like a bad idea to fill a door with foam as there are parts there that do need to move!
