Hi,

if you mean the dark plastic rubbing strips (I think they're called) then I believe they do pop off the piece of trim but they're on tight.

I think the 'catch' on the back of the rivet slides forwards in the hole in the metal of the wing to release them from that.

HTH, Pete

OK, just looked at VADIS and the clip that holds on the trim is part number 6806505. Its different to the clips that hold the door trims on. Have a word with Rufe - he'll be able to get you some.

hi, just a quick one to thank you both for your help, i have now got it sorted out they do prise off (took a bit of force though!!!) and the clips cost a grand sum of £1.78 (the pair!) so thats a result. many thanks
