Shadowline

[Bonymaenjack]

Good morning, a simple question hopefully followed by a simple explanation
I want to replace my 2 door shadow line trim (which runs the length of the door adjacent to the window ) but I don't know how to remove it without damaging it

Thanks

time. patience and a 1/4" flat bladed are your friends bonnyman.

The gutter trim is held to the A pillar with 3 or 4 tiny steel clips which can be popped off.
once the A pillar trim is free, the gutter can be gently twisted along the roofline to remove along with the covering piece on the sharksfin.

Better have some new clips ready as you're certain to break some of them.

I don’t suppose you could share the part number or a photo of the clips please?
