Trim removal

[7T5]

I bought a new piece of chrome trim for the rear quarter panel yesterday. I know there are two nuts at the back of the car to remove. Can the trim be slid off then? I did try but as the doner car was in the scrapyard i just broke the clips in the end but don't want to do this on my car.

Answer is no :D
4 new gold plated clips ordered from Rimmers.

Yes part number DYC101440. I thought i had spares from then the car was painted but they were the wrong ones.

Yes, i tried to slide it off without breaking the clips. As you say you have to slide it back so the threaded parts don't touch the body and scratch it. It has indeed bent it. I have a new one to go on from the scrapyard that i just broke the clips off to get off. I really can't see any other way to remove them. Clips arrived today so i will get the new one on tonight.

Some people say it's possible to release the clips from inside the boot - i.e. squeeze the two tangs and push the oval peg back out through the hole in the wing. This would probably work if all the clips were reachable - I'm not so sure they are. See 3rd post here (http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=227094).

I agree, you can undo the two nuts and pop the trim clip next up but i can see no way to get access to the two further up.

Interesting, there must be a way then. Maybe they had arms like mr tickle :D
New trim is on now and looking very neat.

No, i got the trim of a scrapper. Door solenoid, the trim and a few other bits for £20 from the local place. New clips from rimmers.
