Roof trim strips

Out of interest, what was the procedure for removing them?

A bit of brute force. They wouldn't slide out.
I wish I'd just left them alone now.

Funnily enough I took these off for the first time yesterday, to test fit my recently aquired roof rack.
I just pushed them forwards and lifted them up, came up fairly easily.
One clip was broken but it looks to have been done a long time ago.
And surpisingly mine was a lot cleaner than your Pushki!

Feel a bit bad now, your clips are different to the 5G ones

Don't feel bad Gorgon. I knew there was a risk.

I would imagine these clips are fairly cheap from Honda? I got them to order a bonnet rest clip and I think that was about £1 or something.

I'll check out Lings later.

If it's any help they're part 21 on here I think: http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda_ca ... k_03=23103

Thanks Gorgon. That won't break the bank.

As Gorgon has noticed, 4G ones are different to those on the 5G which are a simpler design.

As does BMCC, I remove mine when waxing The Lude. On a similar note, I also pop out the side repeaters in the front wings when waxing.
