Yep, warm it up first (hot water or hair drier),am good spray of silicone lube, and it should either slide out, or peel from one end. Have a look at the end of the trim and you can see it in profile.... |

Quick work of warning... You will possibly have a line in your paintwork where the rubber has sat for years... 70% of those we have removed do |

Well this post has saved me from putting in a new post about the rubber on the back window. |

I ended up having to cut through one end of mine and then peeled the rest off. It has left a line where previously painted up to the trim rather than removing it but at least I found where the rust bubble kept coming from as there was a rusty unpainted spot under the trim about 1 1/2" long, which I have treated with stabilizer but no the dealer can repair properly as agreed and remove the paint line they caused by bodging the original repair (twice) There is a difference between knowing your sh!t and knowing you're sh!t

Just as Craig said. Mine slid out no issues, but left a line in the paint that won't tcut out. Accept, some days your the pigeon, some days your the statue! |

Cheers guys. Am I right in thinking the newer models don't have this trim? Just the side ones? |
