I'm wanting to remove the roof trim strips to clean them and to clean underneath them.
I'm afraid of breaking the clips. Does anyone have any useful tips?

Mine just slid out, a bit like these lock things:



That's the best way I can describe it Just don't pull too hard and you'll be okay.

Do they slide front to back or vice-versa?

I believe it's front to back, at least on my 5G there is just a clip at each end, no intermediate clip as shown in your picture. Imagine pinching in the middle of the trim and pulling up, they come out that way, if it was the other way around then the trim would just come off when laying flush.

Okay, thanks Gorgon. Was there much crud under there?

There was a little bit but not a great deal. Mostly just gunk around the clips themselves.

I'll try and remember to take some pix. Thanks again.

Every time the car is polished/waxed these are removed. Never had any problems putting them back on

Cool! I've never taken mine off for fear of breakages.

Aaargg!!!



I could grow some prize winning vegetables in there.





Hmm! The pictures seem a bit hit & miss today.
Does anyone have any spare clips they could sell me please?
