Plastic Strip Help?

[Ozzie]

Cant find anything in search.

Just wondering what is holding the plastic strip between the bootlid and rear door (roof seperator)?
I know about the nut inside the car but what sort of clips are holding it and whats the proceedure of safe removal?
Im re-spraying so this would really help.

cheers.

That nut, big blobs of polyurethane, and a locator/pin that slides into a plastic bush about 3 inches from the end - (rear of the car).

Just use fishing line, or a really fine wire to cut it off, similar to the method to removing the door/trolley strips.

If you're just respraying it, try leave them on - its a mad pain in the butt, they bend, and tweak so easily...


P.S. Use bluetac or sticky tape to hold the nut in the socket so you don't drop it down inside the skin.
