Roof trim removal
 

Re the 2 alu strips that run the length of the top of the roof.....(2005 D3 model)
Has anyone removed one?
Mine has paint flaking and ideally needs to be removed to be primed/painted.
I'm guessing there are clips that possibly get damaged upon removal?
Thanks

Just pull up carefully - they will bend easily but can be worked back into shape +++

Ok, thanks.
Did you remove yours for the same reason?

Yes, seems a common issue....

One of my one has failed too:mad: what are they new rather than faffing about? Also can you take any pics when tackling the task. Cheers

Did you repaint yours buddy?

no real answer to the original question here ?
 

i want to remove mine too but only to remove the black wrap
so please are there any clips ?
and where do you start to pull from of lever out ?
ta

Start at the front or the back, lever or pull upwards and work the length of it out....

Please take some pics.+++

Trim removal
 

just as Paulrstaylor said above
so
no need for pics its easy
you need a small plastic trim removing tool same or smaller width as the trim
lever it up carefully from the front near windscreen
there are no clips
its a long rubber trim from 1 end to the other built into the trim
honestly very easy just take your time and move along slowly pulling from as close to the roof as possible

Black wrap roof gone !
