The trim needs to be cut out of the top 2/3 for the light to fit into the roll bar, and fit into the trim due to the backside shape of the trim piece. No cutting of the trim is needed other then the hole for the lamp on the face side of the trim. This was also done with a jig saw after drilling a starter hole for the blade to fit through.
