Hi all.
I have removed mine and stripped/primed and repainted it. I can confirm there are no clips. The metal strip is an interference fit into a rubber strip beneath it. Carefully nurture it our using a plastic tool. The rubber beneath is also an interference fit into the roof - if you remove it be sure to make a note of the front/back as it is not symmetrical and appears to wedge in, in a particular way Although mine is painted, I need to refit it so I'll happily supply and pics if that helps anyone? Pls pm me with an email address. Just need to sort my injector issue out now ......☹️

Roof trim removal
The pics show the roof gulley (after trim removed), the profile of the rubber insert (take care it goes back in the right way as it's not a symmetrical shape, my rubber coiled up and my freshly sprayed metal trim. As per previous comments - it's easy to remove, with care, using a plastic tool and something to protect the paintwork you may contact. The metal eases out from the rubber strip allowing the rubber to then be removed. I did clean mine up before reinstalling. I put my repainted metal strip into the rubber BEFORE putting the rubber back into the gulley. It presses in real easy, especially with some sort of slight lubrication. Hope this helps.
