Removing rubbing strips from the wings
 

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any suggestions for removing these two trim pieces from front and rear wings please? Elsawin is not particularly descriptive ("unclip from bracket") but I don't want to break anything just levering them off!

Thanks :)

IIRC they slide off, horizontally, in the direction of thier respective doors

Hmm, I think they are simpler than that.
I once lost one of the front ones when I hit (at fairly high speed) a deep puddle.
Once I'd noticed its absence I worked out how it had gone AWOL and went back to look for it. Found it in a pile of crap at the roadside, cleaned it up and IIRC just pushed it back on over spring clips.
As ever no doubt ELSAWIN will tell all. ;)

I think the Bentley manual from the states might be more helpful.
By the way I'd love a copy of the Bentley Manual for both D2 and D3 if anyone can help with that? :D

I have the D2 manual on CD, had it for ages, but I'm not giving it away...

Strewth. your four times nearer to HS2 than we are

(swift change of subject, but no less odd)

HS2 will however be in a tunnel here. It was going to be about 50 metres away (and 30 metres down) but the route was revised a while back.

I suspect it will revert back though as the revised route gets very near the surface where our local chalk-stream river feeds the village duck pond. Lots of flak about the likely disturbance to ancient water courses etc.

And by the time it's actually built I'll be pretty old and deaf!

Why not?

Because I paid a lot for it, use it for my D2 and it's licensed/protected.
You have to install it on a PC then register and get a validation code from Bentley.

Sadly, due to recent PC changes I don't have it installed at present so can't check what it says about removing those strips.

Isn't the Bentley derived from the factory material though? In which case I would doubt it's any more descriptive than Elsawin, which btw has this to say on the subject:

I guess just lever them off and hope they don't break...
