the plastic caps on the roof on the back of the cab... any body got any pics on what is behind them? or any idea on how to take them off? the two slots running front to back are for water drainage but i was just curious about those two "caps" i figure they just pull off but i dont want to break them by pulling them the wrong way. jw what they are for? and how to take them off without breaking them.

I just recently painted that area of my truck as well as the side pilars because the paint was chipping away. Thanks Nissan for an awesome paint job.

Anyway, i removed those plastic caps inorder to tape the area off for paint. Each cap is held in place by two snap in connectors (similar to a button). In addition to the snap in connectors, there is adhesive 3M tape holding the pieces down. Start at the end facing the front windshield and pull it up. Make sure to do so slowly as the 3M tape offers the most resistance. I thought I was going to break something at first, but I just slowly applied force and little by little broke then bond.
