I removed all the trim to re-paint, and I regretted it.
The windows and around doors are not the wort pieces, but the strips are bad and you can almost not remove them without damaging the plastic clips holding them. I would strongly urge you to mask off with thin tape. If you put your heart into it, you can get professional results! Do a search, if you can get the clips, they cost a fortune, if not, you will have to glue the stuff back. My advice is, don't!

Getting to the rear side trims appears a nightmare, that's why, as some will know, mine don't look smart. I was thinking that I might get stuck in during the summer, but I've forgotten which summer.

just buy a few packets of the small black clips that hold the side strips on.The rear quarter strips have a couple of threads with nuts on accessible in the boot.
The chrome strips along top side windows have a unique clip with a small rubber washer . Both clips will break when removing the chrome. Last edited by genpk; 2nd August 2021 at 10:35.. |
