cress Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 My 300Tdi XS, is coming up for some body/ Paint work shortly (Bubbleing paint etc). Can anyone tell how the wheel arch and door plastic mouldings are secured and more to the point how to remove them. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
python Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i belive they are glued on mate, get some decent glue remover. try using a plastic scraper or be careful with a normal paintscraper. you can soften the glue with hot water but not boiling...

stageonesimmo Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I seem to remember there are at least a couple of the 'pop-centre' clips - the ones where you push the pin out of the middle and allows the 'legs to compress and come back through the bodywork. If they are glued on get the wifes hair dryer set on stun and heat the thing up a couple of inches at a time whilst pulling it away from the panel - the heat will soften the glue nicely and allow it come off.........
