Leaky saloons - rear window trim clips. How to remove trim?

ashy90 · 14th April 2020, 14:03

I have searched for this but couldn't find a guide with any photos etc.

I have a 2000 Rover 75 saloon and a 2002 MG ZT saloon.

Both have water leaking in to the boot from the rear window trim clips.

Firstly, there is no way I am having the rear glass removed on both cars to reseal in some new clips.

How is the trim removed? If some clips break then surely the trim can be re- fitted with a couple of blobs of sealant?

I've seen windscreen fitters do this to A pillar trims when clips have broken.

I've got some Creeping Crack cure as recommended by someone on here. I've got some silicone on the way to me too.

Any advice or photos would be much appreciated.
