Look on Rimmer site and the following items.
Shows the clips, sealing washers and more important nuts and sealing washers at each end! You will need to access the insides to get at the nuts! https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001807 Last edited by KWIL; 3rd July 2020 at 15:13.. |

The nuts and sealing washers, 2 of each on each side, at the rear end are easy to remove. The other clips going forward have to be squeezed on the inside to release the 'spring clips' in the back moulding. I have just bought 5 from Rimmers, - total cost £15.48 .
I made a tool to squeeze the clips inwards out of a short piece of 15mm copper piping, ovalised to the distance across the back 'post' of the clip. Once pressed on to the stub of the clip, the trim should be free at that point. then repeat for the others. Whilst doing this, once the end tip is freed from the bodywork, watch out for the clear plastic 'filler', about 3inches long, inside the trim. This is not shown on the Rimmer's parts drawing. You may be better just applying some sealant on the inside around/over the clips, without disturbing the clips. Last edited by GeoffWW; 4th July 2020 at 08:31.. |

I would leave all the trim in place, as far as possible.
I removed the trim on my Tourer for a respray. More than half the plastic clips broke, I guess. They are outrageously expensive to buy, if you can find them. Not worth it if you don't HAVE to, in my opinion! Better work from the inside, if at all you can!

I always thought once the fixing near to the rear light was removed the trim then slides of the clips ?

Waist trims
Quote:
Are all the waist finishers intended to be fitted/removed in the same manner i.e. all pulled rearward to remove and vice versa to fit. |
