Hi
Does anyone have instructions on how to remove and replace the plastic roof gutter moulds on a VE Sportswagon/Sedan.
These moulds run from the windscreen to the back of the roof.
Also any info on how to remove the roof gutter extensions on the Sportswagon tailgate would be much appreciated. These smaller ones are on the tailgate roof section and run into the back of the black defuser that houses the high mount brake light.
Cheers

Hey man,

You have to start at the front with a plastic pry tool to lift up the edge of the gutter runner. You'll hear a pop, but thats ok. There are a series of clip on mounts that will pop as you work your way along. Try to use the pry tool and not to bend the runner to much.

Same on that little piece on the tailgate.

To get them back on - reverse the process. Start at the back etc etc

@Fu Manchu Good to know. I was looking at pulling mine off again to clean the crud out of the roof channels. Being a wagon I took the roof rack covers off and can see alot of built up muck inside.
