8800 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 hi, i am trying to remove the window trim and refit it. theres a big gap starting half of the trim until the rear quarter window. I have took off the screws behind the rubber, but i still cant move the trim, do i have to remove the rear quarter window as well? or is there other screws hidden somewhere? any help would be much appreciated http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/9065/dsc00135ri8.th.jpg http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/5098/dsc00133jm3.th.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Mines the same, anyone? (since respray, i also used to have wind deflectors clipped in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 There are also clips holding the trim on, you do not need to remove the rear quarter window. They should just pry of with a bit of persuasion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8800 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 thanks for the reply Nic, do you happen to know where the clips located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 thanks for the reply Nic, do you happen to know where the clips located? I can't remember but they hold the trim piece onto the body, I *think* if you look above the trim you can see them. It's a long time since I replaced mine so my memory is a bit sketchy I'm afraid.

8800 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 yes i saw 2 metal clips at where the gap is, there must be another 1 or 2 still holding it, i'll give it a try in a minute. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8800 Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 as Nic said, if you removed all the screws, then theres only 3 clips holding the trim, it will come off with a little bit of force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Nice one cheers, gonna order some new ones. Dont supose anyones got a part num for these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 The metal window trim is only held in by screws, no clips, but it does have a non setting adhesive thats a bit of a pain to prise it away from, you also need to check for screws right into the corner under the rubber.
