they come off quite easy but can also bend easily, i had mine off a while back to find a rattle. dont worry if they bend though they straighten back. and i think it would be hard to lose any clips :happy2: all the clips seem lose without the strips though

....So you can pull them off without removing any door cards etc?
Any tool which is best to use as a lever?
Start in the middle? End?

i started at the ends and the door card def stays on, and as above the best things are those plastic trim remover thingys :happy2:

My driver side aluminium door trim has developed a rather irritating rattle lol - so will be removing and putting a bit of double sided tape behind it to stop that!

....Be careful not to break any more of the rather fragile plastic fixings when removing/refixing. These strips aren't really designed to be taken on and off by VW's customers!

SeanyK:
I suspect the previous owner broke one of the clips, hence why it makes a noise unless I press it in!
It's not that loud, just irritating, 9 times out of 10 the stereo will drown out any rattles, after all, I am in Essex :evilgrin:
