Type 44 100/200 - exterior trim help

Mr T · 15-10-11, 07:27 PM

Does anyone know how to remove the exterior plastic trim moldings which run along the side of a type 44 100/200? I'm guessing these are hard to find now and I want to avoid breaking anything. I've tried I few searches but not managed to find any help. Thanks. P

If you mean the rubber ones that run along the side of the car then with some cheese wire as they are glued on..

It's the ones which run along the middle of the car. I thought they were glued on at first but I can see on the near-side rear door (through a tiny gap between door and trim) that there's some kind of plastic clip holding it on?!

usually plastic screwed nut thingy, which is retained by a plastic snappable nut 10mm, if these are missing from the door shuts , the trim has been glued on,if you get stuck for some let me know , have a few spare,

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty sure I'll be needing to purchase some of these from you. I can't see me having time to do anything to the car for a good few weeks, but I'll let you know when I get round to removing the trim. P

good to know! i'll have to swap a door over when i get time, the paint matches but the trim doesn't, one has chrome.

so if you 'undo' the things in the door shuts the trim slides off?
