Default Gutter trim removal.

Hi all,

I need to remove the chrome gutter trims. Any hints, tips or tricks to be aware of before I ham-fist it and break something?

Cheers!

Thanks For that. I did see that section in the manual but oddly it refers to the tweeters being IN that trim panel so I don't think it refers to the gutter chrome strips, rather the internal A pillar trim.

Can't see the gutter chrome being held on by fir-tree clips either, looks like it's just an interference fit but always useful to ask for tips with flimsy bits!

Cheers

I read that myself on those 1st two pgs and wasn't the most confident about it. But on the 3rd one it does state using the heat gun to remove it.
