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

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

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

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 !
