Anyone know how to remove the gutter strips from around my very back window on my vr wagon?? Ive taken the front one off, stripped the plastic and polished it up, looks pretty good, but i cant figure out how to get the back ones off. Any ideas?? i was thinking i might have to take the window out, which i dont wanna do

ok, the small section, right at the back, just pulls off, clips hold it on. same with the bottom, pulls off.

the top, needs the window taken out to get it off as far as i know, i havent taken it out yet.

was going to, started polishing the back one while it was on the car, then realised polished alloy on a silver car would look odd, so i stopped. but i got a second wagon im stripping for a rebuild, and have taken the bottom ones off and the furthest back ones. the top is still there, as i havent gotten to removing the window yet.

but as the car will be a dark colour when painted, im gonna polish them up.
