Taking the bump strips off to spray on the cab and struggling to see how to get the front part off underneath the side repeaters. The door and rear quarter parts have one bolt and then slide off but looking under the wing looks like the front piece is on two plastic pins with retaining clips. Obviously don't want to just snap it off so any hints would be well received please?

Cheers

Just snaps off. Need to be careful in respect of the paint, but a gentle and well placed lever is the trick.

Should probably add that, for me, the lever would be a hand at the rear of the trim strip.
