    whats the best way to remove and install the trim around the windscreen?

    Good luck...

    You have to kind of fold the trim inwards and it will come off its plastic clips...the plastic clips are glued into your windsheild when it's installed....so...you will probably break most of them..

    just break all the plastic clips......its inevitable. Then silicone the strip back on

    i removed the trim without breaking any clips, but thats no consolation cause the screen is cracked :lol:


    1st remove the lower windscreen trim. (5 x screws)

    i found it easiest to slide the vertical trim pieces downwards towards the bottom of the screen.

    You can slide it down just enough so that it becomes separated from the top corner trim and plastic clip.




    Then remove by sliding it upwards over the corner trim at the top of the windsreen.....

    the top corner trim is then easily removed. and finally the top horizontal trim cab be slid out of the plastic retaining clips.

    3 stages. easy when you know how :D

    ^^ That's a handy tutorial.... I broke about 2 or 3 clips when I took mine off...

    Did you have any luck getting the trim back on with the existing clips in place or did you take out your windsheild and re-silicone everything back in anyway?
