Hi,

I?m sure someone has removed these trims from his/her car and knows how to do it.
Could you please help me? I would like to paint them but I have no idea how to remove
them without breaking anything.

Best regards,
- Tommi

Tommi,

I've looked for the instructions you are asking for two different times on TIS and for the life of me, I can't find them. Hopefully someone else will be able to find it for you (and show me where it was...)

Sorry!

There supposed to be some screws so far I?ve heard. In the TIS there?s a manual for that. Take a look under the door seals at the pillar when open the door.

Thanks Harry. Unfortunately I don?t have TIS, so I cannot check it. Would it be possible that somebody could post the manual here?
