I want to protect the car for the winter months that are ahead here in rusty Ontario, Canada and was wondering if one of you fine fellas has ever gone thru the troubles of removing the black coloured cladding/covers on each side of the undercarriage on these cars?

It may appear that the rear brace may have to be removed first?

To be able to spray in the cavity.
[MENTION=5773]Striker[/MENTION] looked at it and said nah. Most places will be able to work around it with special attachments (similar to in door spray).

Update- super easy to do and I'm glad I did. Put back together after I coated it with my rust inhibitor
