    Default How the hell do you...

    Get the lower chrome exterior window strips off? The upper trim came off no problem, but the lower trim is being a Kanye West (bitch). Also, the myth is true, you will break every clip in the process of taking them off

    I'm pretty sure he's taking them off to be painted. Wish I had done mine that way too.

    My car is being painted and they'll have to come off anyway, so might as well paint them black myself while the car is in the shop.

    I am glad to be of assistance, even though I wasn't...

    How did you get them off in the end? It's something I am not sure I should avoid or not... would like to know. Cheers, Nick
